The Mets got the best out of this guy! Definitely will remember his dominant season.

1 of 4 Mets to win the Cy Young
Then flipped him for Thor and D’Arnaud which was crucial in the Mets winning the pennant.
I loved RA. One of my favorite Met starters ever.
Hell to the yes. An absolutely incredible story after all of his adversity he faced. His book taught me that lemon poppyseed chicken can lead to a failed drug test LOL.
I’m taking this time to remember some of the more positive moments in Mets history. Since we have not had a lot to celebrate over the years
His dominant seasons, plural. RA was great all three years with the Mets.
I’m almost sure he doesn’t duplicate but has a similar 2013 if the Mets sent Niese instead of Dickey, remind you he was a knuckleball pitcher going to pitch in the Rogers Centre in a AL East that favors offense and still wasn’t downright awful, if he had stayed a Met in the NL East which at that time had a large Turner Field, Marlins Park and Citi Field was still pitcher friendly I can almost guarantee he’d have a ERA under 3 again.
Love R.A. I love knuckleballers in general but R.A. had such a great story of getting his contract taken away from him as a draftees to becoming a cy young award winner.
Also he’s a big star wars nerd so he’s just inherently cool
Adam the Woo?
Nothing but love for RA Dickey. Overcame a lot in his life and gave us some great moments in some otherwise not great seasons. A random waiver wire pickup coming out of nowhere to be productive and eventually the best pitcher in the game for a season is what baseball’s all about.
None of us will ever see anything like that again. It was too poetic. Even his autobiography, released before his Cy campaign, started with, “I’ll never lead the league in strikeouts.” And then he did.
I love RA but the key that season was an injury. It made the knuckleball more effective. Worse thing he did performance wise was get the surgery to fix it, not that I blame him
