⚾️ Fun Fact: Hall of Famer Phil Niekro pitched for the Blue Jays!
That obscure piece of Jays history just set up the greatest Bob Uecker story of all time. 😂
Uecker was catching for the Braves when the Niekro brothers (both knuckleballers!) pitched back-to-back. When asked how to catch the knuckleball, Uecker's legendary advice was:
"The easiest way is wait 'til it rolls to the backstop and pick it up."
His follow-up punchline is even better! Watch the clip for the full story.
