R.A. Dickey shows up at Mets? holiday party, even though team wants to put coal in his stocking (Big League Stew)

R.A. Dickey has become a favorite among baseball fans the past few years, not only because of his knuckleball-throwing talent but also because of his humble and working man's approach to all aspects of the game.
But, seriously, can anyone blame the Cy Young-winning pitcher for showing up at the New York Mets' holiday party to play the role of the grumpy elf? In "very pointed comments," Dickey told reporters on Tuesday that he'll likely leave the team as a free agent after the 2013 season if an extension isn't worked out this offseason. He said he's been more than generous in his asking price of a two-year, $26 million extension and that he's disappointed the Mets have been nickel-and-diming him over what he sees as a reasonable request.
