Bahahha. Nick be trippin'.
Anyway, I guess Dock Ellis had no pier.
Did he even own a boat?
Looks like eight players went took a walk on the Dock.
Or did you mean PEER?
The other team was probably just as high.
Some records in baseball will never be broken and one of those records belongs to Dock Ellis as no one will ever pitch two no hitters while on LSD.
I’ll always remember Dock Ellis as the guy who served up Reggie Jackson’s shot off the light tower in Tiger Stadium in the 1971 All Star Game.
What Doc himself said about that game:
“I can only remember bits and pieces of the game. I was zeroed in on the glove . . . I remember hitting a couple of batters, and the bases were loaded two or three times. The ball was small sometimes, the ball was large sometimes, sometimes I saw the catcher, sometimes I didn’t. Sometimes, I tried to stare the hitter down and throw while I was looking at him. I chewed my gum until it turned to powder. I started having a crazy idea in the fourth inning that Richard Nixon was the home plate umpire, and once I thought I was pitching a baseball to Jimi Hendrix, who to me was holding a guitar and swinging it over the plate. They say I had about three to four fielding chances. I remember diving out of the way of a ball I thought was a line drive. I jumped, but the ball wasn’t hit hard and never reached me.”
Dock Ellis was also hungover from drinking the night before game 1 on the 1970 NLCS in which he threw 9 shutout innings. He actually had to get a taxi cab ride to the game.
