R-A Dickey says he's looking forward to being a Canadian for six months a year.

The knuckleballer and reigning N-L Cy Young champion was introduced by the Toronto Blue Jays today.

The Jays acquired Dickey from the New York Mets over the off-season.

Dickey says he was drawn to the Blue Jays for their baseball pedigree, including two World Series titles in the 1990s.
