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

The movie's a must for baseball fans in general and Red Sox fans in particular - if nothing else, it will help remove the battery-acid taste of the season now stumbling to a close.

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

A wild and unexpected film.

Some of Knuckleball!'s best scenes show Dickey and Wakefield hanging out with Hough and Phil Niekro (the latter the rare knuckleballer who threw the pitch his whole career rather than turning to it out of desperation), talking about the mechanics and the mojo of the knuckler.
