The Baseball Show: Knuckleball

So this was pretty awesome. If you’re wondering why I didn’t ask certain questions, it’s that Kevin Burkhardt did a long segment with Tim Wakefield, Phil Niekro and R.A. Dickey immediately before we filmed that will air on SNY at some later date. I didn’t want to sit down immediately after and ask them the exact same questions, but Kevin came prepared and covered a ton. Dickey had to leave for a Mets function, so then I told Tim Wakefield he was crazy and impressed Phil Niekro with my knowledge of knuckleballer history. Nice guys both.

My mother always said, “If you don’t have anything interesting to say, show some watersports accidents.”

This is a busy day, and slow getting started to boot. Sorry about the P.O.D.

Also, speaking of my mother and watersports, this is her favorite movie scene of all-time. We saw this in the theater and she laughed so hard I thought she was going to be escorted out. Fat people falling, foul language and dudes getting hit in the junk with stuff are pretty much my mom’s three favorite things. My mom has a Ph.D.
