This week's Spotlight focuses on the Austin, Texas-based rock band White Denim, which is scheduled to play Club Congress Saturday.
White Denim's lead singer is James Petralli, whose father is former major league catcher Geno Petralli.
Geno Petralli played 12 seasons for the Rangers and Blue Jays.
Petralli led all of baseball in passed balls with 35 in 1987, 20 in 1988, and 20 in 1990. His 35 passed balls established a Major League single-season record.
Most of Petralli's past balls occurred when he was catching a famous knuckleball pitcher.
For a chance to win an audio book tell us the name of that knuckleballer, who pitched until he was 46 years old.

“Rita of the Sky,” the documentary that rocked the International Festival, will get an encore screening next weekend. Press release follows:
ENCORESCREENINGS OF AWARD-WINNINGDOCUMENTARY
The Screening Room is pleased to announce three encore screenings of the award-winning documentary RITA OF THESKY on May 8, 9 & 10.
RITA OF THESKY played to sold-out houses at the 2009 Arizona International Film Festival in April and received the “Best Feature Documentary” and “Best of Arizona” awards.
RITA OF THESKY is a story that prowls the edges between cultures. A judge sends a mysterious woman to a Kansas mental hospital because, to officials, her language resembles the “guttural noises” of a mentally ill person. After 10 years, they learn she is a Tarahumara Indian from the Copper Canyon in Mexico, who had been speaking her native language all along. She had walked 1500 miles from her canyon village to Kansas. Emerging from captivity, she can no longer speak at all because of the drugs given to her in the hospital.
RITA OF THESKY will screen on Friday, May 8 at 7:30pm, Saturday, May 9
at 7:30pm and Sunday, May 10 at 3:00pm. Filmmaker Kathryn Ferguson will introduce the film and will answer questions after the screenings. Admission is $8.
