I didn't say it was "easy". It's certainly not difficult with some practice.

I said if it's ever going to happen it will take a long time... and it should be done gradually...... and I didn't say it was to help pitchers, I was talking about it would help their bodies/arms.

That is a good idea.

Me too, but knuckleballs are hard to throw ....... and catch. Ask Bob Uecker. Uecker was asked how he caught a knuckleball. ("The way to catch a knuckleball is to wait until it stops rolling and then pick it up.").
Maybe we can bring back Rip Sewell's Eephus pitch to get those guys off balance. ;-)
I think throwing a knuckleball at the major league level with success must be one of the hardest things to do, despite it being looked at mosyly as the pitch of last possible resort to salvage a career. There are slow motion video around of RA Dickey’s amazing 2012 season that look like a looney tunes cartoon.
Here’s one from youtube, ha that thing is 80 mph which is way hard for knuckleball, a true corkscrew.
