R.A. Dickey Is On Twitter and It Is Glorious
When a guy's Twitter bio reads like this:
Father, Husband, Christian, Pitcher, Author, Adventurer, Star Wars Nerd, Reader, Ninja in Training & Cyclist
You know you've got something good. When that person is also a knuckleball pitcher for the New York Mets? Even better.
Dickey's first tweet was only five days ago, but he already has 925 of them, a majority of which are responses to fans. But what sets him apart?
Here are some examples:
Any clothes with Star Wars references? if so what?" Too many to tweet
@RAULJIMENEZII breast milk (This was in a response to what his baby's favorite food is)
How long on the job would it take before being a hibachi chef gets boring?" Never if you could use a light saber to cut the food
He does ten minute question and answer sessions with fans about a certain topic (food, clothes, etc.) quite often.
You're welcome, internet. Now let's just hope the Mets don't send him down to Triple-A for no apparent reason. And no article on Dickey is complete without this:

He reminds me of a viking getting ready to pillage the city.
I wouldn't say I'm crazy. Maybe an eccentric who looks good in jeans.
Well he needs a horned hat and an axe, I think
