This isn’t exactly breaking news, but reader Mike emailed a while back to ask me to pass along a question to R.A. Dickey. He pointed out that talk of Dickey’s missing UCL and the story of a doctor noticing something amiss from a picture comes up pretty frequently, and asked if Dickey had the picture.
Anyway, I might have Googled it before I asked Dickey because it turns out this was covered when Dickey’s story blew up last year: The picture was the cover of Baseball America’s 1996 Olympic preview. But it’s always good to have an excuse to talk to R.A. Dickey about something, anyway, and he’s always obliging.
Unfortunately, I can’t find a bigger version online than this one, from the Times’ feature on the knuckleballer. If anyone has a back collection of Baseball America issues and a scanner and wants to provide a larger version, we could all get a better look at the angle of Dickey’s dangle. That’s our man second from left:
