Random Card Post: 1988 Score Phil Niekro

Posting about Tim Wakefield last week got me thinking about other knuckleballers in the MLB, so here's a random post to honor the greatest knuckleballer of all time. 

Nothing to see here, just a 48 year old, then-active player on a baseball card...

1988 Score Phil Niekro

"It's like watching Mario Andretti park a car" 
-Ralph Kiner, after watching Niekro's knuckleball.

"Trying to hit that thing is a miserable way to make a living"
-Pete Rose

"Niekro struck out a hitter once and I never touched the ball. It hit me in the shinguard, bounced out to Clete Boyer at third base and he threw the runner out at first. Talk about a weird assist; 2-5-3 on a strikeout."
-Bob Uecker, one of his many catchers.
