| Congrats to R.A. Dickey, 2012 NL Cy Young Very deserving. Was really rooting for this guy.
Fun fact: Both CY Young Winners are from Middle Tennessee and went to Vanderbilt and Tennessee. |

| Great news. He deserves it. It's impressive. Especially considering how bad the Mets were. |

| Way to go, R.A.!! So proud of this guy, who has re-invented himself as a pitcher. His knuckleball is quite unique, even among knucklers. |

| Anyone else think it would be very cool to honor both of the Cy Young winners on the field at the UT-Vandy game this weekend? Not only are they both from the Nashville area, but they also represent both schools. |

| Simply amazing year that he's had. Had a blast watching guys like him, Helton, and Bubba Trammell play in the early/mid 90s. |
