Mets' Pitcher Makes 'Knuckleball!' His Own

by NPR Staff

It's an exclusive club: pitchers who win with the knuckleball in Major League Baseball. The New York Mets' R.A. Dickey is one of the few active starting pitchers in professional baseball who use this slower, methodical pitch, and he is one of the subjects of a new documentary, Knuckleball!

Pitcher R.A. Dickey sits in the Mets' locker room in the film Knuckleball!
