Check out this fascinating tidbit from a column by Jeff Passan of Yahoo! Sports

The gyroball is baseball's version of alien life. No one knows if they've seen it. No one knows what it looks like. No one knows much about it. Except there's a small pocket of American fans who graze the Internet champing to see Matsuzaka, because they're all convinced that he throws a gyroball and they're all convinced it will revolutionize the sport.

There hasn't been a new pitch in baseball since the split-finger fastball, and it did everything from making Bruce Sutter a Hall of Famer to prolonging Roger Clemens' career by 10 years. Baseball evolves so slowly, unearthing a new pitch is like finding an Easter egg that happens to be filled with gold.

The full article can been seen at http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news;_yl...yhoo&type=lgns. Check it out. It's a great read.

Has anyone ever had the opportunity seen this mythical gyroball? Do you believe it actually exists?
