Knuckleball 101



This is a great segment on 2012 NL Cy Young Award winner R.A. Dickey, who didn't find success in the majors until he was 37 while using an unlikely pitch, the knuckleball.

I had vaguely remembered some story last year about his sexual abuse as a child, and the segment goes into that, too.  My students were interested in both the baseball story and the criminal part of his background.
