        The best comment I ever heard about knuckleballers was from @libbyemmons who called them the Jedis of baseball. Niekro was a master.

        Niekro would come to the mound and it would suddenly be not-baseball; it was like there was a completely different thing happening between the mound and the catcher than before.

        Sad news, almost missed it. If it was one of his pitches, I would have.

        Amusing trivia (already known to fans, of course): He was on the losing side in a game vs Houston 5/29/76 after giving up a home run. Winning pitcher: brother Joe Niekro. HR hitter: brother Joe Niekro.

        This has been a bad year to be a baseball legend.

        I'll never forget his final day of the season 300th win in '85 after the Jays eliminated the Yanks the day before. Billy had Joe make a mound visit. Only threw the knuckler at the end of his CG. Phil Rizzuto said going nine had become rare. Oh Scooter, you hadn't seen nothin yet.

        In '85, Yankee pitchers threw 25 complete games. Niekro with 7 was second behind Ron Guidry's 11.
