Phil Niekro died. We've had a lot of that lately, but for some reason this one hit me a little. Phil was pretty amazing as a player and a person. I'm looking forward to the tributes that show up on our blogs when one of our old favorites passes away. They will all be better than this one.
But now I am off to re-watch the cool documentary Knuckleball that definitely has some Niekro in it. It's on Amazon Prime if anyone is interested!
Took a couple of days off from reading blogs... so I'm catching up. But if I have some time later today, I'll look into this documentary.
