R.A. Dickey's life will be made into a movie
Yes, the former NL Cy Young winner's story looks like it'll be coming to a big screen near you. The film will be based on Dickey's 2012 memoir Wherever I Wind Up, detailing his childhood struggles, his rise, fall, and rise once again in the big leagues. Here's more from Deadline.com:
Tom Rothman's TriStar Pictures has made a deal on a baseball memoir which the duo will produce with Michael De Luca. TriStar has optioned Wherever I Wind Up, the memoir by pitcher R.A. Dickey about his unusual life journey. Buzz Bissinger has been set to write the script.
If you remember, the pitcher also had part of his life featured in the documentary Knuckleball.
It's tough to go wrong with Bissinger, but who will play R.A.?
