Knuckleball! is a 2012 documentary film that follows the 2011 seasons of Tim Wakefield and R. A. Dickey, Major League Baseball's only knuckleball pitchers that year. It was released in theaters on September 20, 2012 and on DVD on April 2, 2013. Wakefield won his 200th game in 2011 and Dickey won the 2012 Cy Young Award.

Synopsis

The film sets up the 2011 season by showing how the knuckleball saved both pitchers from obscurity. Dickey moved his family 37 times before landing with the New York Mets. The film presents Wakefield's chase of his 200th win as a member of the 2011 Red Sox and Dickey’s make-it-or-break-it season with the 2011 Mets. It demonstrates the fraternal nature of knuckleball pitchers who trade tips of the trade via various meetings with the likes of Phil Niekro and Charlie Hough. Dickey won the Cy Young Award in November 2012.

Lorsque la soirée du 16 octobre 2004 toucha à sa fin, la malédiction du Bambino était bien vivante. La fameuse équipe des Yankee, menée par Alex Rodriguez, Derek Jeter et Gary Sheffield, avait accumulé trois parties d'avance en championnat, et 19 runs face à leurs rivaux de toujours. Le soir suivant, lors du 4ème match, les Yankees menaient 4-3 à la fin du neuvième tour de batte, et laissèrent la partie à Mariano Rivera, le meilleur lanceur de relève d'après-saison de toute l'histoire, pour assurer leur ticket pour les Séries mondiales. Mais après un but sur balles et un but difficilement volé, le vent froid d'octobre commença à souffler. Pendant quatre journées et soirées consécutives, ce groupe invraisemblable des Red Sox réussit miraculeusement à gagner quatre parties d'affilée et à déjouer leur inévitable destin.
