À propos de cet audio
Barney Schultz wasn’t supposed to make it. After a career-threatening injury in the minors, most would’ve given up. But Barney didn’t. He reinvented himself with one of baseball’s strangest, least predictable weapons: the knuckleball.
In this episode of Rounding Third from BadderSports, Peter Lemieux shares the incredible journey of Schultz—his perseverance, his unlikely World Series moment, and the legacy of a man who just wanted to stay in the game. Plus, we highlight the knuckleball greats: Hoyt Wilhelm, Phil and Joe Niekro, Charlie Hough, and R.A. Dickey.
🎙️ A tribute to those who never quit—and the wildest pitch in baseball.
