I saw that yesterday too and it is awesome. No Mas makes awesome stuff, I like their redesigned page.

Can't post a picture in this forum, but here's a nice one of Dock in action at good old Memorial Stadium during Game 1 of the 1971 World Series.

Frank Robinson & Merv Rettenmund took him deep, Ellis didn't survive the third inning, and Dave McNally & the Orioles won it 5-3.

Thats a great photo.

I'd like to see video footage of him pitching on LSD. Does any of that exist?

There is also a pretty good song by Todd Snider about that game.

Bob Dylan too. I think it's called Rainy Day Women #12 & 35.

There's an online petition attempting to get the MLB network to rebroadcast it.

I wonder if the line up card read Ellis, D.

He walked 8 batters, hit a couple of them, and dived out of the way of a "line drive" that didn't even reach the pitcher's mound. But still got his no-no. Who needs roids?
