I really don't remember seeing this before, I know I sure as hell have never done it before. But in fall ball the other night I get a pitch inner half and put maybe the best swing on a ball I ever have, felt great. Screaming liner off the bat, I watch it fly for a split second and see its knuckling, its just dancing all over the place, but looks like it might burn the LF. I put my head down and hustle out of the box. As I start to make my turn to round first the guy coaching first says it gone, I stopped and was like really? I didnt believe him, then hear umpire saying somebody get that ball. Every knuckler I have ever hit dances around and usually shoots down to the ground in front of the OFer. In all the years of games and 1000s and 1000s of BP hits never seen a knuckler carry over the fence like that. Of course I suck balls and that was the first HR for me since May, so I dont really have lots of HR experience usually 2-3 year 5 this year (started out hot lol). I'm sure the big upper level mashers hit knucklers over the fence on the reg, but for my league scrub ass I am left wondering how in the hell did that ball make it over the fence, anyone ever see a knuckler shoot up instead of down or to the side?
