Man, I'd forgotten how much fun it was to watch this guy pitch. Good times.
Great time, especially me I’m from Queens
🥹
I miss him (and Wakefield too) a lot. A good knuckleballer will make the best batter look like a fool and that was top notch baseball entertainment for me.
It’s sad no one is teaching this of late. It’s really a lost art.
man fr feel like the best part of life is baseball and this was a good era and era
To paraphrase Bob Ueker: “The best way to catch a knuckleball is to wait for it to stop rolling around and then pick it up.” 😂
Who is here after reading/listening to Adam Grant's latest book, "Hidden Potential", in which one chapter talked about Dickey's long struggle before finding success?
Oo, is it good?
@@andrewjacks2716 Yes, it is a great book. The part on Dickey got me interested in baseball again (I played for 1 year in my teens). I wish Dickey set up an academy to teach the art of the knuckleball to aspiring pitchers so that it won't become extinct. The knuckleball also gives hope to those of smaller stature to still succeed as a pitcher in the MLB.
I have RA's book.
I am, starting chapter 6 now...😊
love how batters walk away after striking out on a knuckleball, they just accept it
"Yeah I'm done playing this drop third game, you know the drill"
His book was amazing too. The struggle the hardship setting the record for most hrs in a MLB inning to a truly top their knuckler amazing read highly recommended.
Indeed! Mans been through it. Movie worthy.
The best baseball vids to watch, in all history, are the ones of RA Dickey during his last year and a half with the Mets. Watching batter after batter after batter flail helplessly at pitches that don’t follow a trajectory, but instead orbit that trajectory, just brings immense joy. Especially knowing the humble demeanor and gratitude of Dickey himself while this was occurring.
Just got into baseball a couple years ago and this is incredible to watch, that knuckleball is something else
Greatest knuckleball of all time ⚾

Forgot about this! RA split the nail on his middle finger the morning he was pitching the night game. Solution? Korean nail salon on Hillside Ave in Queens. She hooked him UP.
Knuckleballers, the pitchers that last forever. LFGM
81 mph knuckler is just absolutely insane
Underrated pitcher
I forgot how good this guy actually was I watched him growing up all the time he’s definitely part of my childhood memories 😊
LOVE the Ol school knuckle ball/side arm pitchers.....Dieing breed.
I loved my Dickey. ❤❤❤❤ That time against the Yankees? Ball got a little away from him, almost beaned A-Rod. He went down on his ass, Dickey threw his hands up like, OH NO! And ya know what? A-Rod laughed. He knew RA was crazy, but he'd never deliberately throw at anyone.
Not only was Dickey goated in 2012 -- but he was traded in the deal that got the Mets Syndergaard (actually one of the better trades NYM have made in franchise history)
If he was here in 2022....we win it all
Man I forgot how much these Mets teams were garbage R.A was the only bright spot on this team. Other than seeing the captain in a uniform
Jose Reyes, David Wright, they had some good talent but yah.... collapseable is the word that comes to mind
@@Kruppt808 younger Mets sure but when dickey was there those teams were garbage lol
The Last of the dying breed👌
Josh Thole masterclass
Do one for Harvey’s 2013
That's a Master Pitcher who knows how to mess with Batters heads just like the late Cricket spin bowler Shane Warne from Australia
Dude had a knuckleball change up
Wish he would have pitched longer. He was fun to watch.
sooooooo entertaining
Its just a pitch he throws where we all know its coming but none of us know what it's gonna do...
와 포수가 잡을때 눈을깜앗고 타자가 칠때 몸이 뒤틀리고 이상한 배트궤적이 나온다.ㄷ ㄷ ㄷ
⚾️⚾️🔥🔥🔥⚾️⚾️
The most unlikely pitcher in the last 20 year.
Esa lansamito se tira como si fuera una recta o tienes q darle un movimiento a la canilla
best part about Dickey is the Mets knew when to trade him!
YEAH, it killed me but we all knew.
He had 3 good years in Toronto.
@@doublem1975x yep, and i was rooting for him every time....
@@JK-ld8cdIn hindsight it wasn’t a good trade for the Mets. Dickey’s knuckleball was suited well for the DHless NL and the pieces you got back (D’arnaud, Syndergaard) didn’t do that well in the long run.

This guy was a problem!!!
7th☺️
Thanks Obama
People don’t understand nowadays or probably don’t know who this is or how good this guy was for so long if he doesn’t make the Hall of Fame that’s the biggest mistake ever
