Brian Wilson's fitst pitch to start the game? A knuckleball for a strike.

Brian Wilson is a man of principle, as he proved when he refused to shave his beard for anyone, even the Yankees. But apparently the Dodgers reliever’s principles didn’t get in the way of him working on a knuckleball over the offseason.

We’ll see if he brings it into play during the regular season, but from the looks of it, it’s actually pretty good.
