Knuckleballs: 162 Great Knuckleballing Wins—Plus Playoffs

by K.P. Wee

This book celebrates 162 (plus playoffs) winning efforts of knuckleball pitchers throughout the history of baseball, using a day-by-day approach. Pick any random date during the baseball season, and find out what a knuckleballer did to win a game that day. While the big names in knuckleballing history are heavily covered (Phil Niekro, Joe Niekro, Hoyt Wilhelm, Tim Wakefield, Charlie Hough, Tom Candiotti, and others), non-household names also made it into the book, such as Steve Sparks, Kirt Ojala, Daniel Boone, Larry French, Warren Hacker, Lum Harris, along with many others. However, it should be noted that this book is not simply about knuckleballs. Included are references to numerous events and stories in the history of baseball (some of which have been forgotten), such as …and much, much more!

A regular in-studio contributor on "Vancouver Canadians Game Day" on TSN1040 Radio Vancouver during the 2018 baseball season, K.P. was previously recognized as a Top Writer on Bleacher Report, a sports website creating and curating content about trending news topics. He currently writes about his daily thoughts and opinions on his own sites at kpwee.com, alifeofknuckleballs.com, and letseatoutonceaweek.wordpress.com (a food blog). He also has, in the past, provided commentary and advice on Quora.com, a Q&A site focused on sharing knowledge and practical solutions to everyday problems.

K.P. enjoys writing sports, psychological fiction with a twist of romance, and (some day) chick lit. He spent a decade working as a program developer and instructor for a private school, before joining the media relations department of the Vancouver Canadians baseball club. Though the experience was fun, K.P. found that he had very little time to do what he truly enjoys - writing - so he left to pursue a job in advertising. As of 2019, he is back to his old ways... working in both sports and education.
