Did you see Milwaukee's game with the Pirates? I'll admit, when the Brewers signed her, even knowing she was a knuckleball specialist, part of me figured it was a publicity stunt. But, though she toiled in the minors for quite a while, she seems to be pretty good. And, of course, the Japanese have followed suit, an independent league signed a 16-year-old girl last year.

Who would have imagined that it all came from one episode of "Full House" - but at least knowing how to throw a knuckleball gave Jodie Sweetin something to do onceit was cancelled.

(OOC: Not only did an independent Japanese team sign one OTL last year as mentioned, but also the Full House episode is from OTL season 4, and Jodie's character (with Jodie or a stunt person) does throw a knuckleball; a good one for Little League. This supposes she is the pitcher, but beyond that you can take the ball and run with it. Oooh, mixed sports metaphor, ouch. ;) )
