AGE IS OF LITTLE CONSEQUUENCE TO KNUCKLERS AT LEAST NOT IN THE SAME MANNER AS STANDARD STULED PITCHERS DUE TO MECHANICAL DIFFERENCES INVOLVED WITH THEIR OFFERINGS WHILE MOST STANDARD PITCHERS ARE CONTEMPLATING RETIREMENT @ AGE 35, HISTORICASLLY THE BEST KNUCKLERS ARE JUST COMING INTO THEIR MOST PRODUCTIVEPERIODS AT THAT AGE WHILE MOST HAVE SUSTAINED WINNING RECORDS WELL INTO THEIR MID TTO LATE 40s, AS PROOF, I OFFER THE FOLLOWING EVIDENTIAL POLAYERS: WILBUR WOOD, TOM CANDIOTTI, JOE NIEKRO, PHIL NIEKRO, TIM WAKEFIELD TO NAME THE MOST PROMINANT PRACTIONERS.

TAPE REVIEEW IS RELATIVELY OF NO USEFUL EFFECT AS NO ONE, NOT EVEN THE PITCHER OR CATCHER CAN PREDICT THE ACTUAL FLIGHT PLAN THE SINULARITY WILL TAKE. AS EACH PITCH IS A SNOWFLAKE WITH IT’S OWN UNIQUE QUALITIES, NO 2 ALIKE NULLIDYING REAMS OF VIDEOTAPE BARRING NATURAL WEATHER DIFFICULTIES, WET BALL,WINDY CROSS CURRENTS DICKERY’S PERFOERMANCES SHOULD REMAIN AS DOMINATING AS THEY WERE LAST YR.
CERTAINLY THESE ARE AL;L THE REASONS WHY I STUILL ASSERT R.A. WAS THE BETTER OPENNING OPTION TO TEMPORARILY TASKE JOHAN’S SPOT ACROSS FROM THE HALLADAYS,HUDSONS,JOHNSONS.
