They didn't change the rules. They just waived the normal 5 year waiting period because he died.

I kinda feel sorry for catchers dealing with knuckleballs.

I guess it's fortunate that they don't throw them very fast.

They get a workout cause like the pitcher they have no idea where the ball is gonna go. Bruce Benedict caught Phil Niekro and that guy would be flopping back and forth trying to catch the ball. They need a bigger glove as well.

Smooth play but I have to say watching baseball on vertical is like watching hockey on TV. Missing a lot of the action.

Hard to believe that prior to that game he was fighting for a roster spot and was in danger of being sent down or sent to the bullpen.
