Summary

My name is R.A. Dickey and my life has been a battle against unbearable pain and abuse. From a young age, I experienced horrifying abuse that left me feeling less than human. Desperate for healing, I prayed to receive Christ when I was just 13. Even as my baseball career began and brought professional success, the inner torment and dark memories of my past continued to haunt me, pushing me to the brink of ending my life. In a moment of complete surrender, I experienced a divine intervention—a whisper from God that saved me and redirected my destiny. My testimony is a testament to God’s power to restore, heal, and bring purpose even in the darkest moments.

R.A. Dickey debuted his knuckleball by breaking one of baseball’s worst pitching records, giving up an unbelievable six homeruns in one game. Sent to the minors and faced with the failure of his pitching dream, Dickey decided to end his life. He duct taped a hose to his car’s exhaust pipe, connected it to the driver’s side window, and placed his hand on the ignition. It was about more than his dream failing. It was about the babysitter who molested him as a child, about the man who raped him, his need for cleansing and purpose in life. He had hoped baseball would give him meaning and a way to escape the pain of his past, but all that seemed impossible now. He couldn’t see how R.A. Dickey would one day find healing and redemption and success beyond his wildest dreams.
