The Knuckleball - Baseball's Most Difficult Pitch To Catch

This video of R. A. Dickey's knuckleball is mesmerizing.

Afterwards, there's plenty of explanation of the physics behind the pitch.

I've caught a knuckleball before, and it's a devil - you can have your mitt right where you think the ball is going to be, and then, at the last moment ... it's in a different place (notice where it ends up in the catcher's mitt in the video (the brief glimpse of the batter's face is also priceless)).
