Knuckleball

With baseball season approaching I watched this documentary which had been on my Netflix list for years.  It’s an interesting documentary which I hoped would be more about the physics of the pitch and why it behaves the way it does, but turned out to be more about the people who throw them.  This is not necessarily a bad thing, and the movie does explain fairly early on that once the ball leaves the hand, there’s no telling what it’s going to do.  If you’re a fan of Tim Wakefield or R.A. Dickey you’ll get some extra innings out this movie, a baseball fan will appreciate some of the behind the scenes looks at the game.  It’s a good film for baseball fans.  Recommend.
