There are two theories on hitting the knuckleball. Unfortunately, neither of them works.

I couldn't throw a knuckleball if my life depended on it.

The way to catch a knuckleball is to wait until it stops rolling and then pick it up.

How do you catch a knuckleball? You wait until it stops rolling, then go pick it up.

I've pretty much behaved like a knucklehead my entire life.

I almost chopped my thumb off once. Just before I left home, I was about ten or eleven years old, and I was trying to open a bone. Can you imagine that? A bone! I was trying to get the marrow out of a bone, and I took the ax, and I went to chop it, and something slipped, and the ax went right down there and damn near cut it off.

I have an oval-shaped scar on the knuckle of my right index finger from crashing my hand through a light fixture while practicing Elvis Presley moves in college.

I pluck with my fingernails. If I break a nail, I can't cancel a concert. So I can make a nail out of a ping-pong ball.

A pure hand needs no glove to cover it.
