Wherever I Wind Up

R.A. Dickey was the subject of much anticipation when he was chosen as the Texas Rangers' top draft pick in 1996. However, a routine physical exam uncovered that his right elbow was missing the crucial ulnar collateral ligament, crushing his lifelong dream and taking away his $810,000 signing bonus. But despite facing two setbacks in his baseball career, Dickey persevered, fueled by his strong faith, love for his family, and unrelenting pursuit of self-discovery. Now, as the starting pitcher for the Toronto Blue Jays (after a successful stint with the New York Mets), Dickey is widely regarded as one of the top players in the National League and is the recipient of the prestigious 2012 Cy Young award. In Wherever I Wind Up, Dickey shares his quintessentially American tale of overcoming incredible odds to achieve a remarkable game, career, and life.
