The Toronto Blue Jays are no strangers to knuckleballers. In the early days, it was Phil Niekro; most recently, it's R.A. Dickey who has been the latest iteration of a knuckleball pitcher for the Blue Jays.
But there was a man in between those two eras who also relied upon the knuckler in Toronto. That man was Tom Candiotti, the focus of this week's Flashback Friday at BJH.
The year was 1991; much like the Blue Jays this year, a struggling 1991 Toronto Blue Jays squad received a shot in the arm at the trade deadline with reinforcements for their starting rotation.
