When it's on the most unhitable pitch in baseball.

The knuckleball.

Comes in at 70.

Everyone knows it’s coming, and you still can’t hit it.

Problem, almost impossible to learn, or catch.

Just wait until it stops rolling, and then pick it up.

We threw them back and forth in the backyard but I only threw one in a game when I pitched. It was a thrill when it was a good one.
