FOX NEWS EXECUTIVE/AUTHOR BRIAN GAFFNEY: “SCHOOL OF HARD KNUCKS MY 3 SONS AND BASEBALLS WILDEST PITCH”
Thursday, 15 October, 2026
What makes the knuckleball one of the most fascinating—and unpredictable—pitches in baseball? On this episode of Locked Up Sports: New York Sports Talk, we sit down with Brian Gaffney, Fox News executive and author of School of Hard Knucks: My Three Sons and Baseball’s Wildest Pitch. Brian takes us inside the history, science, mystery and culture surrounding baseball’s knuckleball—and the personal journey that inspired him to write the book. We discuss: ⚾ The history of the knuckleball and the pitchers who made it famous ⚾ Why the knuckleball moves so unpredictably ⚾ What makes the pitch so difficult to throw—and even harder to hit ⚾ How Brian’s son began throwing the knuckleball at a young age ⚾ His son’s journey through youth baseball and into Division II college baseball ⚾ The challenges of developing a pitch that many coaches don’t understand ⚾ Why the knuckleball has become increasingly rare in modern baseball ⚾ What makes the pitch such an incredible underdog story ⚾ The inspiration behind School of Hard Knucks ⚾ Brian’s experience documenting his three sons and their baseball journey ⚾ Why the knuckleball continues to fascinate baseball fans The knuckleball has always existed outside the traditional rules of pitching. It doesn’t necessarily overpower hitters. It doesn’t rely on velocity. And when it’s thrown correctly, sometimes even the pitcher doesn’t know exactly where it’s going. That’s what makes it so special. Brian Gaffney’s School of Hard Knucks explores that mystery through the history of the pitch and his family’s own experience with it. 📖 School of Hard Knucks: My Three Sons and Baseball’s Wildest Pitch is available now.
