One of the greats, RIP. At 40 years of age in the 1979 season he won 21 games and lost 20 with an era of 3.39. He pitched 342 innings. It’s absolutely retarded MLB has turned its back on a pitch that allows someone to do stuff like that at 40 and beyond. He pitched until he was 48.

I’m surprised there aren’t more knuckleball pitchers. There’s a large population that can throw hard enough to be successful. A knuckleballer can throw more often and more innings. It must be a very difficult pitch to throw and control.
