AMA Request: R.A. Dickey

Surprised this hasn't been suggested yet, he's been arguably the best pitcher in baseball this year and he already has an active web presence.. He has a degree in English literature from the University of Tennessee and pitched for the U.S. team in the 1996 Atlanta Summer Olympics.

1. Do you believe you've turned the knuckleball into a pitch that's viewed more seriously and less as a novelty?

2. How extensive was your training in advance of climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro?

3. What are your thoughts on baseball no longer being a sport represented at the Summer Olympics?

4. Can you pinpoint the exact time when you felt that everything was falling into place in your baseball career?

5. Are there any baseball memoirs (besides yours, of course) that you hold in particularly high esteem?
