Greatest Knuckleball Pitcher of all Time?
I believe the pitcher who threw that pitch without telegraphing the pitch the best was by far and large Phil Niekro. This guy is by far
I believe the epitome of Knuckle ball hurlers, most throw this pitch either
by changing their motion, or simply had too much Velocity taken off the pitch. Pitchers like Wakefield who try to be like Niekro are light Years behind the master.

Ya your right, Phil Niekro was the best. It also helped when he doctored the ball. Its been rumored he threw a spitter and also actually cut the ball. But he was the best.
The only other one I can think of would be Hoyt Wilhelm. He was something also.
