Text Quotes
My dad played for a coal-mining team in eastern Ohio; he was a very good pitcher. If he hadn’t hurt his arm, he probably would have got a shot somewhere. He hurt his arm one spring, didn’t warm up good enough, couldn’t throw a fastball anymore. Another coal miner taught him how to throw the knuckleball  (Phil Niekro Quotes) There’s very few pitching coaches that I worked with that actually came out on the mound and told me what I was doing wrong with the knuckleball. Because they just didn’t know. So I had to figure it out. I was on my own.  (Phil Niekro Quotes) I would think every organization has pitchers who have good talent but just don’t have what it takes to make it with what they’ve got.  (Phil Niekro Quotes) There aren’t many hitters who like facing knuckleball pitchers. They may not be intimidated by them, but they sure are thinking about them before they go into the box  (Phil Niekro Quotes)
