Mets RHP R. A. Dickey has revealed in his upcoming book that he was sexually abused as a child. He says that he was eight years old when his 13-year-old female babysitter began sexually abusing him. Dickey has said that it's important to tell others of abuse when it happens.
In addition, Dickey also goes into detail about contemplating suicide after cheating on his wife. He also alleges that he once saw a syringe on the floor of the Texas clubhouse in 2001. Dickey only played four games with the Rangers that season, so the fact that he saw a syringe out in the open despite being on the roster for a brief period of time would suggest that steroids were rampant on that team.
The book, Wherever I wind up, written by Dickey and Wayne Coffey, will be released tomorrow.
