Dickey's Barbecue Gets a Smokin' Tweet

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla., March 15, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- There's nothing better than baseball and barbecue. R.A. Dickey posted a picture on Twitter of his family sporting Dickey's Barbecue signature slogan t-shirts that read "Dickey's - Eat My Smoke" at Mets spring training camp.

"We were thrilled to hear that R.A. Dickey is a big fan of Dickey's Barbecue," said Roland Dickey Jr., president of Dickey's Barbecue Restaurants, Inc. "We are big fans of his last name and of course his knock out knuckleball."

The world's largest barbecue chain surprised the Mets pitcher with shirts for his family earlier in the week.

About R.A Dickey
R. A. Dickey, the right-handed knuckleballer for the New York Mets, has become a mainstay in the starting rotation with his cagey performances in the past two seasons. The veteran hurler is a leader and refreshing presence in the locker room. He has also pitched for the Rangers, Mariners, Minnesota Twins and Milwaukee Brewers organizations. In recent years, Dickey has since made the transition to becoming a knuckleball pitcher, and is one of just two knuckleballers on active rosters.
