Finished this book last weekend. I really enjoyed it.
It was difficult reading about the sexual abuse he endured, but in the end he was able to overcome his demons and so far live happily ever after.
One of the more entertaining portions of the book is when he kind of alludes to A-Rod being a dingus.
- In his first career win, A-Rod makes the final out and Dickey is excited about getting the game ball so he can give it to his oldest daughter.
Instead, A-Rod flips the ball into the crowd. Dickey mentions how normally guys will save a ball for a rookie when he's earned a 'first' for something. But in this case, he gives A-Rod the benefit of the doubt by saying that 'maybe he got caught in the moment and didn't realize what he had done".
- After earning his first pro shutout, A-Rod comes over and says "you have me to thank for that. I was signaling to the catcher from short the whole game".
In his next start, Dickey got lit up in a 9-2 loss and asked A-Rod if he deserved the "L" in that game, to which A-Rod responded "No, I wasn't calling today's game", hahaha!
