Correct, it is not.Ernie Banks seems like the obvious answer, so it's probably not himI played the most Major League games while never appearing in the World Series.
Who am I?
No cheating, jerkfaces.

I'm over the Brian Wilson thing.Greinke is pretty interesting. Belisario is an interesting bullpen arm as is Kenley Jansen. If Brian Wilson isn't interesting, it sure isn't from lack of trying.I'll give you Hanley. Gonzo and Zack aren't interesting. In fact, Gonzo seems like a run of the mill schmuck.Outside of Puig and Kershaw, what's intetesting about the Dodgers?Uribe? Schumaker?I didn't say they were bad. I said they were boring. And they still are.Minor and Teheran are about to throw back to back gems. Stay tuned.Is there a way the Dodgers can win this series in 2 games so we won't have to watch the BORING-ASS Braves much longer?
Gonzo? Hanley? Zack?
Wag your finger of disapproval for no one getting it.
That's right! Rafael Palmeiro is the correct answer.
I do not know how to say it any clearer than this. I have NEVER.... been stumped by trivia.Wag your finger of disapproval for no one getting it.
That's right! Rafael Palmeiro is the correct answer.
Will have to watch this. Fond memories of one of my Babe Ruth coaches teaching me to throw one when I was 13. Guy was like 80 years old an a janitor at the High School, but just bled baseball.Raider Nation said:I couldn't sleep this morning, so I watched this thing on Showtime called Knuckleball! One of the best baseball docs I've ever seen. Interviews, game clips and behind the scenes stuff with R.A. Dickey, Tim Wakefield, Charlie Hough, Phil Neikro and others. Really well done. If you have some time to spare, I highly recommend checking it out.

The thing that struck me the most is that these are all really good guys. Not sure if you have to be a humanitarian in order to be a knuckleballer, but it sure did work out that way. Also, a guy I played softball with threw a perfect knuckler -- no spin at all, but it was just way slower than these guys throw it. He tried to teach me and I just never got it.Will have to watch this. Fond memories of one of my Babe Ruth coaches teaching me to throw one when I was 13.

How does Freddy Garcia end up pitching in an elimination game? How does that happen?Braves season rests on the outcome of Kershaw vs. Freddy Garcia. This should be fun.
I voted that we just sweep them and be done with it, but nobody listened to me.How does Freddy Garcia end up pitching in an elimination game? How does that happen?Braves season rests on the outcome of Kershaw vs. Freddy Garcia. This should be fun.
1.65 ERA this year since being traded to the NL.Freddy Garcia isn't still pitching in the big leagues is he?
Man I honestly thought he retired a few years ago. Guess I don't watch many non-Rays games.1.65 ERA this year since being traded to the NL.Freddy Garcia isn't still pitching in the big leagues is he?

He'll get a 2014 contract from somebodyHowever this goes, fantastic work from Freddy.
Too busy striking out tonight.Wonder why McCann didn't block the plate.
And that's why you don't overuse an arm like Johnny Venters. The Braves ruined him with overuse early in his career. They could have really used him in the 8th.
