Knuckleball!

One of the best documentaries I've seen - inspiring and entertaining look at one of the coolest things in sports
I streamed this movie here on Amazon with a 3 day rental.

Fantastic documentary chronicling the stories of two modern knuckleball pitchers and the history of the rare and exciting pitch. Highlights include wonderful cinematography, great storytelling, in-depth historical perspectives, new and old baseball footage, and some charming scenes where the modern knuckleballers are hanging out with some old ones talking baseball. Great pacing throughout, never drags, visually appealing the whole way; I just wish there were more of it!!! (Maybe there are extra scenes in the DVD version, knuckles crossed :D )

It is very interesting for the baseball fan, inspiring for those who don't run with the status quo, and encouraging for those who know their job isn't done yet even through lives with what seems to be more downs than ups. Like the movie says (my paraphrase) "you just throw the ball, and then its up to the world to see where it goes" - and I know there is a breath...

Superb documentary. A must see for baseball fans and non-fans alike.
The mystique surrounding the pitch and the pitchers themselves is the focal point of this excellent documentary. A pitch I threw just fooling around back in the day. It takes a special individual to harness the pitch and survive in the world of Major League Baseball. This film focuses on Tim Wakefield and R.A. Dickey, more Wakefield than anyone else. It also has old timers like Charlie Hough and Phil Niekro. The ups and downs, ins and outs, it's all covered. If you want to get into the minds of the pitchers and learn about the pitch and the game itself, this film should be watched. You won't be sorry you did.

Excellent
Im a huge Mets fan so this documentary was a delight to see, great to see a documentary about Ra Dickey
if your a baseball fan, you gotta see this, worth every penny
