Description
Steve Sparks pitched 9 seasons in the Major Leagues throwing the most unique pitch in the game, the knuckleball. Knuckleball pitcher always seem to have a knuckleball personality to match and Steve is no exception. In this episode hilarity ensues as Sparky kicks things off by telling his grandma how bad of a teammate CJ was, who for some reason decides it's a good idea to wear his little league jersey. Steve shows us some fun items with stories including: Strange NBA cards. An Adam Sandler encounter which included his manager making a terrible joke. How he got his own glove model that will be used for generations. The tight knit community of knuckleball pitchers. Impressing Stan Musial with a firm handshake. Richie Sexson's not so slick move during Randy Johnson's perfect game. Getting his own bobblehead, sort of. What it's like to be an MLB record holder. Being a magician's assistant in the clubhouse.
