He did it! CY DICKEY!
He did it! Wow, what a ride for R.A. Dickey!
The 38 year old journeyman bounced up and down between the minors and bigs since 1996 with the Texas Rangers. Throwing what some call a circus pitch was his last option to "make it" in MLB. With raw determination, guts, faith and countless hours of practice R.A. perfected that circus pitch well enough to toss 20 wins for our NY Mets in 2012.
After reading his book and learning about the struggles R.A. has dealt with and overcome I can't think of a more humble deserving man of such an honor. Congrats R.A.!
I was confident enough with him winning this award that I already printed up some of these new RACY t-shirts and hoodies. If you are familiar with the NYHC music scene you will understand this one.
Head over to the webstore to pick up a RACY t-shirt, hoodie or CY DICKEY t-shirt. A portion of each item sold will be donated to the Kilimanjaro Outreach Program, Bombay Teen Challenge in R.A. Dickey's name! Wear a cool shirt and donate to a charity that is near and dear to R.A.'s heart.
GO SHOP!
