Joe Niekro - 1988 Donruss

In a past post I showed a terrific card of Phil and Joe Niekro.

This time is just Joe alone by himself.

I still have to find a Phil Niekro '88 Donruss card. Must add it to my want list (eventually).

Here little brother Joe is stated in his wiki page as "one of the most successful knuckleball pitchers of all time".

For me pitching a fastball in a straight direction is tough enough trying for a  knuckleball is like a 'kind of magic'.

Brothers

I got this card in one of the many rack packs I got.

It's quite the nice card.

Knuckle pitchers are not common so gathering two in one card and even more being brothers is great.

Add the fact that they were playing for my Yankees.

One of my favourite Yankee cards.
