Seems like some of the knuckleballers had their careers last years and years. IIRC, Hoyt Wilhelm was another example of such who played about 20 seasons.

If pitchers didn’t have to field, knukerballers would last even longer.
That’s what did Charlie Hough in, he became to old and fat to get over to cover first.

A good knuckleball only goes about 65mph, it is a lot less wear and tear on the arm when you aren’t trying to rocket it at 95+.
My local man Tim Wakefield was a workhorse.
