Hoyt Wilhelm was the first relief pitcher inducted into the Hall of Fame, yet baseball DISRESPECTED him for decades. This is the story of Hoyt Wilhelm and the knuckleball nobody could catch.
A wounded war veteran, he reached the major leagues at nearly thirty. Waived, released, and traded again and again, he still no-hit the Yankees and pitched until almost fifty. After his death, one final secret about his age came to light.
