    Maybe that's romanticizing things, but baseball wouldn't be half as beautiful without its mythology.

    Immediately leaps near the top of the list of greatest baseball documentaries.

    Though not novel enough to attract non-devotees of America's Pastime, the film should please fans on the small screen.

    As a Brit, look forward to my holidays in America so can watch baseball either live or on TV. Its my favourite of the big 4 sports although I have no affiliation to a team or know more than a handful of players I still enjoy it as a sport. I loved Moneyball and I have to say that I would recommend Knuckleball! as much to any sports fan. It covers all the areas it needed to for a someone like me, the technicalities of the pitch, the myths, the legends and has a really nice stories running through the whole film.… Expand
