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 was short with my fastball and breaking ball.

I wasn't ever good enough to be on the baseball team and that sort of stuff.

I was nicknamed Skeeter in Little League because I was small and fast, like a mosquito flying across the outfield.

I feel like a pioneer with the split-fingered fastball. I was the first one to really throw it pretty much 100 percent of the time. It was a pitch that I had to have. If I didn't have it, I wouldn't have been in the big leagues.

I was a very good baseball player and football player as a kid.
