Rob Neyer and Bill James did a book a couple of years ago on pitching. He included everyone who had ever thrown a pitch in the majors, and every type of pitch that has been thrown, showing how the names of pitches had changed through the years. Try looking there.

A dirigible is a lighter-than-air flying machine (i.e. balloon or airship) ... moves very slowly through the air, probably a reference to a very slow high pitch or high fly ball.

Its a phantom pitch much like the gyroball. No one has ever actually seen it used in the majors.

There are definitely books out there where you can find this information. Do not despair
