Talk:12–6 curveball

A fact from 12–6 curveball appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 20 May 2009 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that the 12–6 curveball gets its name from the way the pitch breaks downward, looking like it moves from the number 12 to the number 6 on a clock?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2009/May.

Practitioners[edit]

This section is going to be difficult to deal with. Most pitchers don't throw true 12–6 curves, even though that's the common nomenclature. Looking at the PITCHf/x graphs of Adam Wainwright will show a fair amount of sweeping action on his curve. I'm open to ideas. --Jprg1966 ^(talk) 15:10, 14 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
