ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.- Monday night some members of the Tampa Bay Rays took batting practice against a female high school knuckleballer

Evan Longoria, Jose Molina and David Price hit against 17-year-old Chelsea Baker from Durant High School in nearby Plant City. 

Baker says the late major league knuckleballer Joe Niekro taught her to throw the fluttering pitch about 10 years ago.
