To quote Jeff Foxworthy “sophiscated people have 401ks, rednecks pay the lottery” and as the world’s only Canadian redneck i refer to my weekly purchase of lottery tickets as my RRSP – Redneck retirement savings plan
there in lies the reason teams are staying away from the knuckleball. too many passed balls and stolen bases mean too many free bases in advanced stats. Combine that with the fact there has never been more than 3 effective knuckleballers active in MLB at the same time and it is just not worth the investment
Between Steriods,, changing the length of the season, raising and lowering the mound, souped balls, and kinky australian sheep every records in baseball deserves an asterisk
