Boston will host the premiere of a new film about the most confounding pitch in baseball. The film,
Knuckleball!, stars Red Sox great
Tim Wakefield and his fellow knuckle-baller
R.A. Dickey. The film examines why the pitch is so difficult to hit and why so few men have been members of the knuckleball fraternity. Joining Wakefield will be a bevy of celebrities—along with former knuckleballers
Phil Niekro,
Charlie Hough,
Jim Bouton and
Wilbur Wood. In honor of the Boston premiere,
Mayor Menino will declare September 18th
Knuckleball! Day at City Hall Plaza between 4:00PM and 5:30PM.
