What a pitcher, career era of 2.52, and he pitched till he was 49 years old. A magnificent career.

I grew up in Cleveland and remember paying 3$ to sit in the bleachers in the 70s and early 80s, when they were in last place by 40 games. We got to walk on the field on a field trip as a child. Walked right where he was throwing. One of my childhood highlights.

I began my love of baseball when I was about 12 years old. I was a devout Brooklyn Dodgers fan back then but now follow the Yankees. Anyway I never forgot Hoyt Wilhelm and his infamous knuckleball pitch. I wish some pitchers today could use it but I am sure that the catchers wouldn't agree. A damn good pitcher Hoyt. R.I.P. .

I don’t recall where I heard this story, maybe in Jim Bouton’s book Ball Four. Mickey Mantle could throw a good knuckleball and he wanted to show it off, so he asked Yankee backup catcher Jake Gibbs to catch a few for him. Gibbs reached for his catcher’s mask but Mickey said, “Don’t wear the mask, I want you to get a real good look at it.” Gibbs agreed and dispensed with the catchers mask, after all he was a real big league catcher now. Well, Mickey threw him one knuckleball and it hit Gibbs in the face, breaking his nose.

There's a story, probably an urban legend, about a minor league catcher in spring training sent out to catch some warm-up pitches. As he's trotting to the plate, the pitching coach yell out, "Hey, you forgot your mask," The minor leaguer turns and says, "What do I need a mask for? I just going to catch some warm-ups." When he revives on the training table, he says, "I don't get it. The ball was up there, I reached for it, and it hit me in the face!"

In my opinion, Mariano Rivera and Hoyt Wilhelm were the two best relievers ever. However, with so many batters swinging for the fences these days, Wilhelm would put up better numbers, and have an even lower ERA, then when he pitched. They would be corkscrewing themselves into the ground. So I still place him slightly above Rivera.

Uhhhh. Hey great. But since you can't see the ball breaking then what's the point of the video to show the ball breaking? "Hey everybody, here we are about to show a video about a baseball curving". "Now you can't ever see the curve actually taking place but the catcher is here describing the visual aspect of what's going on". "Now, now we know that the whole idea and purpose of having a video and announcing videod footage of a curve ball is to actually show the visual but instead just pretend that you're listening to a radio show description of what's going on, that should be sufficient, and there you have it folks".
