These other stats are bogus. ERA wins and losses, innings pitched complete games shut outs are the true stats. Phil Niekro was the best knuckle pitcher ever
He was a great pitcher and made the Hall of Fame He had some great seasons With that said I think it's OK to admit that none of his seasons match up to Carlton's 1972, Guidry's 1978, or Jim Palmer's 1975 and career-wise he ranks below Carlton, Palmer, and Seaver I do think he was better than Blyleven though (sacrilege, I know)
He was always my favorite Niekro!🤷♂️
Didn't him and his brother start "The United Neikro College Fund"?
"A knuckleball is a terrible thing to waste..."
Lol
I forget the comedian, but that bit was funnier in the 80s... when it was originated.
The simple fact that he won 20 and lost 20 in the same season is an oddity that we will never see again.

The eras are so different, that such stats did not exist
Some vision to go with the audio would be good.
shut it
This video could benefit from either putting the pitcher's name on the screen when the narrator says it or using "Phil" instead of "Niekro".
Sick narrative.😡
