Throwing a knuckleball was impossible for me. Totally impossible when I aimed it at somebody. A curveball I was okay with.

How do you throw a slider? What are the dynamics of it?
Is it a vertical curveball?

Double interesting, Altie....

My Dad hurt his shoulder in a work accident, so he threw underhand when we played catch. He could throw this rising rocket that moved all over the place. It scared me to death.

That is quite a memory of your Dad, that must have been quite the life pitching for Harvard at that time...
