    When I was a kid - other than '82 & '83 - it seemed like Knucksie was the only pitcher who gave the Braves a chance to win. The greatest knuckleball pitcher of all time.

    He did have a 20 win and 20 loss season.

    I don't care for knuckleball pitchers personally because they tend to have control issues and are either on or off and you never know what you're going to get. But I really admired Niekro. For him to do it as long as he did deserves respect.

    He was a 300 game winner and did it when the Braves sucked ... I loved watching this guy and living in Atlanta I used to see him a lot ... RIP Phil
