For those of you missing your spring baseball fix, this week’s episode puts the spotlight on R. A. Dickey, a Major League pitcher from MBA’s class of 1993. In January, Mr. Dickey returned to MBA’s campus to address an audience of the International Boys School Coalition. A video of the entire session is available at Montgomery Bell’s youtube page, but right now you can hear one of his most important messages from that day.
