Don’t stop at calling Met’s pitcher R.A. Dickey a mountain man just because of his long hair and trimmed beard. He actually is a mountain man.

Known now for his knuckleball, the pitcher that called Brentwood home for most of his life was the featured speaker at the annual Leadoff Luncheon sponsored by Jeff Forehand and the Lipscomb Bison baseball team. Listen below for Dickey’s conversation with the team and several supporters. Dickey highlights his experiences as a major leaguer, his knuckleball, his home in Nashville and why he was in the headlines this offseason.
