The Epic No-No

Dock Ellis

Unbelievably awesome read on the strange trip of Dock Ellis. No footage has ever surfaced, so this is as close as you can get to reading/listening about the epic no-hitter thrown by the Pittsburgh Pirate while he was off in his own world, tripping on the psychedelic drug LSD from the airplane read to the final pitch. Unreal.

I didn’t see the hitters. All I could tell was if they was on the right side or the left side. The catcher put tape on his fingers so I could see the signals.
