The former NFL Pro-Bowl quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner from Boston College is going to get his shot.MLB Network will be debuting a new program, “The Next Knuckler” on Feb. 13. The premise of the show is to have former Boston Red Sox pitcher Tim Wakefield teach a bunch of former college and NFL quarterbacks how to throw a knuckleball. The quarterback who shows the most promise as a pitcher will get an invitation from the Arizona Diamondbacks to try out for the team at spring training this season, according to Craig Calcaterra of NBC Sports. The quarterbacks who will compete for the invitation are John David Booty; his brother, Josh Booty; Doug Flutie; David Greene and Ryan Perrilloux.The Public Relations office for MLB also confirmed the news on Wednesday.Yeah that will be interesting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falconsfan567 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I hope it's David Greene just because he throws left-handed and it would be really cool to see a left-handed knuckleball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
