The amazing story of R.A. Dickey is definitely one worth reading (shameless Dickey autobiography plug). That story, circa 2012, makes its first trip to Philadelphia of the season and he made his presence known with that flutter ball of his. Dickey used his knuckleball effectively through seven innings, shutting down the Phillies in the Mets … Continue reading Phils Baffled By Knuckler Again
