The Knuckle Brothers


Todays Card of the Day is The Knuckle Brothers 1986 Leaf

The knuckle brothers occupy a unique spot in baseball history. Phil (L) and Joe (R) Knuckle were siamese twins joined at the knuckle. They were the first pair of siamese twins to play in the majors. They were especially adept at their knuckle ball which they could throw with much skill due to their 8 knuckles they could utilize to throw the pitch. The Knuckle Brothers had a successful acting career after baseball and often appeared as drug kingpins in a recurring role on Gamble & Bake.
