    Like Father Like Daughter

    So, next weekend I am going to Houston for a special pre-game ceremony at the September 13th Astros game, in which we will be discussing the success of The Knuckle Ball.  What follows this ceremony is the real kicker….me throwing out the first pitch!  And, you must know that it won’t be  complete unless I test my Knuckleball skills that Dad taught me from the time I could hold a baseball in my hands.  Who knows what will be coming at the poor catcher on the 13th, but I promise that I will get my throwing arm warmed up this week and give it my best shot come Sunday.  Look out Roy, after Sunday, I may be taking your place in the rotation!!!!
