Mariners' Kirby throws impressive knuckleball, hit by fan, still leads team to victory

Seattle Mariners pitcher George Kirby had a memorable game against the Houston Astros. In a tribute to Red Sox legend Tim Wakefield, Kirby threw a knuckleball, which he described as "ridiculous." The gesture was well-received by fans and garnered attention on social media. However, the game also had a bizarre incident when Kirby was hit by a baseball thrown from the stands by a Mariners fan. The incident was widely criticized as a bone-headed move. Despite the distraction, Kirby's performance was impressive, and the Mariners went on to win the game.
