	Dock Ellis' Round-Tripper (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Dock Ellis, a right-handed pitcher for the Pittsburgh Pirates in the early '70s, threw a no-hitter while completely tripped out on acid he says was supplied by Dr. Timothy Leary himself.
		Ellis was suffering from acid cramps and was having a hard time keeping his balance on the mound, so he decided to simply throw the ball down the trails because he was pretty sure they led to the plate.
		Ellis went on to cement his status as a Grade-A baseball badass by wearing pink hair curlers on the field, lighting fire to the bat rack in the clubhouse to motivate his teammates on one occasion and tying a major-league record in 1974 by (intentionally) hitting three batters in a row.

		The Ellis Island processing station was meant to channel and filter the seemingly endless supply of human energy that came to fuel America's burgeoning economy, and everywhere on the island there was an air of purpose.
		The sick were taken to Ellis Island Hospital for observation and care, and once recovered, could proceed with their legal inspection.
		Ellis Island's 125-bed hospital opened in March of 1902, and expanded in 1907 and again in 1910.

	Dock Ellis \| BaseballLibrary.com
		Flamboyant righthander Dock Ellis was among the most controversial players on the tempestuous Pirate teams of the early 1970s.
		Ellis was 14-3 at the All-Star Break in 1971, but said he wouldn't start against the American League 's Vida Blue in the All-Star Game because baseball would never start "two soul brothers" against each other.
		Ellis was traded to the Yankees with Willie Randolph and Ken Brett for Doc Medich after the 1975 season, and in 1976 he won Comeback Player of the Year honors with a 17-8, 3.19 record for the AL champions.

		Dock had a crazed look in his eyes and his lack of control was evident to the batters, many of whom were feeling increasingly vulnerable in the batter's box.
		Dock easily retired three batters in a row [in the second inning].
		Dock was staring at the scoreboard when he realized he'd pitched hitless ball for seven innings.

	Urban Legends Reference Pages: Sports (Dock Ellis)
		Ellis was brought before Municipal Court in Cincinnati for disorderly conduct a few months later, but the charges were dropped after his attorney reported to the court that Ellis and Hatter had settled their differences.
		Ellis' feat was a bit unusual in that he seemed particularly wild that day, walking eight batters and hitting one, but many pitchers have achieved stellar results despite laboring with obvious control problems.
		Fourteen years later, however, Dock Ellis revealed an alternative explanation for his lack of control that day: he was under the influence of LSD at the time.

	The Baseball Reliquary - Dock Ellis
		One of baseball’s most controversial and outspoken players of the 1960s and 1970s was right-handed pitcher Dock Ellis, who spent the majority of his 12-year career (1968-1979) with the Pittsburgh Pirates.
		For manifesting their freedom of speech and speaking their minds regardless of consequence, players such as Dock Ellis, Curt Flood, and Dick Allen were labeled as "militants" by the press, the baseball establishment, and many of the white fans who preferred their players to be "good slaves" -- docile, humble, and grateful.
		Unfortunately, the perception of Dock Ellis as a hostile ballplayer overshadowed many of the largely unpublicized acts of charity and conscience which were the hallmarks of his career.

		Ellis is not a small man--when he drove up in his wife's tiny sports coupe, his knees looked like earrings--and here, now, watching him pace around his front yard, a few flecks of gray are the only suggestion that Ellis' "heavyball" couldn't still kill a small animal.
		Ellis was untroubled by the affair; as with most things in which he believed, he openly declared he "didn't give a fuck what anybody thought." With possibly one exception: A few days after the All-Star game, Ellis received a letter in the mail.
		Ellis had just had his first experience with amphetamines; by the time he arrived on the Pirates proper, Ellis was popping green Dexamyl pills before every game.

		Dock reasoned that his Pirates were intimidated by the fl-shoed, unsideburned, non-mustachioed, afro-deprived, Big Red Machine.
		Though Dock brought a good deal of grief on himself because of his drug and alcohol abuse, the press worked overtime to label him a bad seed.
		In the minors, Dock initiated his own campaign for brotherly love when he carved the shape of a heart into the chest of a teammate who called him a nigger.

		Dock angered many people during his career, but he was often delivering the truth in an absurdly blunt package.
		Ellis does not pull any punches on personal issues, but, unlike Jim Bouton, he and Donald Hall have gone to great lengths to make certain that their inside stories don't bring harm, in a personal manner, to those who played alongside or against Dock.
		It is not a reckless tell-all tome, but it does tell quite a bit about the talented enigma that is Dock Ellis, who wore out many a pair of spikes loping from the penthouse to the doghouse and back again...and again...and again- ad nauseum.

		Ellis had no idea what the score was, and he knew he'd been wild--he ended with eight walks, one hit batsman and the bases loaded at least twice--but here it was, bottom of the seventh, and he was still in the game.
		Sure, that's the hook, but the article really digs and tells about Dock Ellis, the gonzo fl athlete, dubbed the "Muhammed Ali of Baseball," and branded as a punk nigger by society at large.
		The article then charts Ellis' personal growth and tells about his life after baseball and how he became (of all things!) a drug counselor at a California Prison.

		By that point, Ellis had enough experience with LSD to know that it wouldn't be wearing off anytime soon; as a, uh, "precautionary measure," he took somewhere between four and eight amphetamines and drank some water.
		It was also that 1971 All-Star game that first gained Ellis his reputation as a militant--an image later etched in stone by the 1976 biography Dock Ellis in the Country of Baseball, which declared him "baseball's Muhammad Ali."
