Did you know that several years ago I hung the nickname "Chuck and Duck" on Wakefield?

When a knuckleballer is getting lit up like that, it's because his knuckler is spinning. Check out the slo-mo replay of the dinger he served up to Boone and you'll see that pitch spinning like a top.

"He had good stuff, he just couldn't hit his locations"???? I thought the whole idea of the knuckleball was that it went wherever the air currents took it. It ain't exactly a "location pitch" there, Terry
