"A knuckleball is like trying to hit a butterfly in a typhoon. It shakes side to side; it may go straight left on one pitch. It might go straight down to a right-hander on another pitch. It may stay on the very same plane on one pitch. The thing that makes a knuckleball effective is that you cannot predict which way the ball is going to move, which makes it an extremely hard pitch to hit."
RA Dickey

Haynes returns to Firehouse 12 to share his latest project - delayed for three years by the pandemic - a pocket brass band. Expect the unexpected!...
