| Advance Praise for Knuckler: “Knuckler is a terrific book about one of baseball’s most underrated pitchers, not to mention baseball’s most misunderstood pitch. There are wonderful stories and anecdotes here, but it's also a portrait of a humble, caring man who has carved out a special niche for himself. If you love baseball (not just Red Sox baseball), Knuckler is for you. If you don't care a hang about baseball, but like stories about exceptionally talented people behaving decently, Knuckler is also for you. And if you're sick to death of sports stories about athletes behaving badly, Tim Wakefield's book is the perfect antidote.” — Stephen King “To read Knuckler is to appreciate that there is no gimmick, no fluke, no chance to Tim Wakefield approaching two hundred wins and twenty major league seasons. This book is about resiliency, diligence, and the tunnel vision required to live by what appears to be the most fanciful pitch thrown by man." — Peter Gammons, MLB baseball analyst ? ?“I have always admired Tim Wakefield, as he plays baseball with a great deal of integrity, the way the game should be played. Knuckler gives readers a rare glimpse at the man behind the baseball and his remarkable work on and off the field.” — Carlton Fisk, Hall of Fame catcher ? ? “Tim Wakefield’s Knuckler is a fastball right down the middle of the plate. It is an honest, straightforward, and very enjoyable account of the national pastime.” — Allan H. (Bud) Selig, Commissioner of Baseball |
