The fine folks at MPI/FilmBuff are giving me three copies of the movie “Knuckleball!“ starring former Mets Cy Young Award winner R.A. Dickey.
Here is a brief synopsis of the film:
The definitive documentary about the impossible-to-hit pitch, the knuckleball!
From acclaimed filmmakers Ricki Stern and Annie Sundberg (The Devil Came on Horseback; Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work) this heartfelt, funny and deeply engaging film delves into the legendary subculture of the knuckleball and the brotherhood of men who share the drive, imagination and humility to throw baseball‘s slowest, most disrespected pitch. Filmed throughout the 2011 season, KNUCKLEBALL follows 37 year-old R.A. Dickey (New York Mets and 2012 All-Star) and 18-year veteran Tim Wakefield, formerly the oldest player in the major leagues and an icon of the Boston Red Sox, detailing their personal and professional triumphs of the season while exploring the bond between them and their only allies, the five living retired knuckleballers – Charlie Hough, Wilbur Wood, Jim Bouton, Tom Candiotti, and Hall of Famer Phil Niekro. KNUCKLEBALL is the story of these extraordinary men, and the sacrifices they made to a pitch that would come to define their lives.
The DVD is packed with nearly 2 hours of Featurettes, Interviews, and More.

Over the next 3 days I will put out a trivia question that is either Mets-related or about R.A Dickey.
The first person to email me the correct answer at rustyjr@realdirtymets.com will win a copy of the movie.
Today’s question is: What team did R.A. Dickey earn his first Mets win against ?
