"There are people in and around the baseball world who give the knuckleball a bit of a knock," MLB network analyst Dan Plesac said at the start of Wednesday night's Cy Young Awards Show.
Apparently those people are not well represented in the Baseball Writers Association of America.
Mets right-hander R.A. Dickey was named the Cy Young Award winner in the National League, easily beating out the Dodgers' Clayton Kershaw and Gio Gonzalez of the Nationals in the BBWAA balloting.
The Knuckleball Gets Its Due! WOOT!
Awesome news! I’m very happy for Dickey. He deserved it.
I Very Much Agree, Mr. Bill. I Was Actually Pullin’ For The Guy, Myself. He’s A Marvel To Watch Work When He’s Got That Knuckler Workin’. It’s Damned Impressive When He’s ON, Ya Know?!
Yeah, I never knew the knuckle-ball could be so much fun to watch. It’s cool that he’s on our side. I hope the Mets find a way to keep him.
Cheers, Bill
