 Charlie Hough - Knuckleball Pitching Community
Unlike most of the great k-ballers, Charlie didn't learn to throw the k-ball untill he was about 23y/o, he started as a third baseman, then changed to pitcher, and in the minors he hurt his arm, anyway one of his coaches suggested that he throw the knuckler and the rest is history.
Hough won over 200 Big League games in his career, he was asked a question if he ever perfected the knuckler and he said no, he did say that Wilhelm and Niekro perfected the k-ball.
Hough also said that his knuckler worked the best in dome stadiums, I think we have heard that from the Niekro's as well, and Wake always seems to pitch well in dome stadiums.
