Famous #35 of the day - Phil Niekro



With all due respect to Tim Wakefield, Charlie Hough, and Tom "Cotton" Candiotti, Phil Niekro is the winningest knuckleballer of all time. He and his cheating brother Joe combined for 539 wins. Phil retired with 318 wins, 121 of them coming after he was 40 years old! Now that is a worthy # 35!
