I looked up another knuckleballer...

Charlie Hough had a respectable 3.75 career ERA

for his 216 career wins

as much as I dislike Chris Berman, his call of Charlie Hough striking out the first batter he faced in the first game of the Florida Marlins history is an all-timer.

The crowd went ballistic and Berman called, "And the Marlins have won the World Series".

Them beating the Dodgers with Hershiser on the mound and Tommy LaSorda's fat ass in the dugout - the team and manager Hough had played for - in the first game of franchise history is a helluva thing.

Wait, Hough only had 216 career wins after pitching for a hundred years?!?

I didn't realize he didn't become a starter until his mid-30s

I read that Tawny's memorial service was held at Chuck's California home
