Phil Niekro: The Greatest Knuckleballer Of All Time

Phil Niekro first debuted in the majors in 1964 and he got there thanks to his knuckleball, and after his breakthrough 1967 season, it would become clear that no one could throw the pitch better than him. He would go on to have plenty of Cy Young worthy seasons pitching for the Braves for 19 seasons before he would sign with The Yankees where he would pick up his 300th win before also going to the Indians and Blue Jays and finishing with The Braves. The oldest regular when he retired at 48, he would go on to make the hall of fame and throw the most innings for any post dead ball era pitcher.
