Mets RA Dickey Speaks at Tenn. Baseball HOF Leadoff Banquet
This is an fourteen or so minute video of RA Dickey giving his speech at the Tennessee Baseball HOF Leadoff Banquet. As always RA is a great listen. I could literally listen to him talk all day. Some of the interesting things that popped out to me were that if his wife was there with him at the dinner he would have introduced her as the smoking hot blonde on the end. The other thing is how much he really appreciated his time in college with his coaches and how the team and the coaches had heart. He also talks about learning the Knuckleball who he consulted about it and the new documentary coming out about the pitchers who have used it.

In recent weeks, Carter’s condition was visibly worsening, and Carter began complaining of severe headaches, fatigue and balance problems that resulted in a fall on Christmas Day in which he tore his rotator cuff.
This past week, Carter spent almost all of his time at his home in Palm Beach Gardens and was too weak Monday to even attend his annual charity golf tournament a few miles away.
According to a family source, the doctors are now deciding whether to cease giving Carter any more treatment
