The Gyro Ball
Editor's note: Last fall, ESPN.com writer Patrick Hruby set out to discover the truth about the Gyroball, a mysterious, near-mythical baseball pitch. To see what he found out, simply follow the series of e-mail dispatches from Hruby to his assignment editor.

Looks to me that Randy has/had the same pitch. It was called a slider, his had a ton of movement... Why didn't they call his a Gyro?
