I love baseball and consequently have read a fair amount of baseball bios. For the most part they were about some of the most celebrated and well known stars of the game. What sets Dickey's bio apart is that he's spent most of his 15 years in baseball in the minor leagues. Dickey is no star, and so what the book comes to be about is perseverance. Despite all the odds stacked against him Dickey refuses to give up his dream of being an established major league pitcher.
This was a nice refreshing change of pace from the previous baseball bios I've read. Well done R.A. Keep it up, and Lets Go Mets !
