R.A. Dickey, David Price win Cy Young Awards
NEW YORK (AP) — R.A. Dickey languished in the minors for 14 years, bouncing from one team to another before finally perfecting that perplexing knuckleball that made him a major league star.
David Price was the top pick in the draft and an ace by age 25, throwing 98 mph heat with a left arm live enough to make the most hardened scout sing.
Raised only 34 miles apart in central Tennessee, Dickey and Price won baseball’s Cy Young awards on Wednesday — one by a wide margin, the other in a tight vote.
