Drugs have always been a part of baseball. Dock knows this, you know this.

That is easily my favorite line of the whole thing.
Eighty-five percent of the f*ckin' world is working. The other fifteen percent come out here. A f*ckin' playground for the cocks*ckers.

That is awesome.

LSD is so underrated

LSD is one of those drugs I'd like to try just once
it seems like a good time, and I mean is it that harming to use it once.

This is why you and Mads need to hang out more.

"Dock Ellis," by Zachariah & The Lobos Riders
pretty good youtube song
Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he'll just kill you.
I still think Dock Ellis should be the Reds pitching coach.

Doc melted into a cosmic blob as he merged with his refrigerator one day.
Although they found his body…Dock was gone.

looking him up on wiki i found this even better nugget ...
May 1, 1974 game against Cincinnati
Ellis attempted to hit every batter in the Cincinnati Reds lineup on May 1, 1974 in an effort to prove a point to teammates. Ellis hit Pete Rose, Joe Morgan, and Dan Driessen in the top of the first. The clean-up batter Tony Perez avoided Ellis’ attempts, instead drawing a walk, and after two pitches aimed at the head of Johnny Bench, Ellis was removed from the game by manager Danny Murtaugh. Ellis’ box score for the game reads: 0 IP, 0 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 0 K.5

my mom loves to tell me about Gibson
I think he is her favorite pitcher, she loves his no-bullshit attitude, and that hitters feared him. She laments that pitchers aren’t like that today, she will watch a game and see somebody crowd the plate and say “Gibson woulda knocked his ass down”.
I’m kind of jealous of her, she lived in St. Louis for a period growing up when Gibson pitched. She told me when she was a little girl her dad took her to games where Gibson and Koufax faced off simply because he knew they would be fast games. I’d like to think this is the game she was referencing. 2 hours and 14 minutes, 1-0 Dogers, Koufax threw a shutout, and Gibson threw 8 innings of one run ball. It is shame Koufax’s arm gave out on him, add 5-10 more years on his career, and he would be Hall of Famers Hall of Famer.

The Bob Gibson statue at Busch
is enough to frighten me. I can’t imagine meeting the man.

I remember Waite Hoyt talking about Gibson when Wait was the Red's commentator.
Hoyt was truly enamored of Gibson’s fearlessness. Hoyt was also drunk a lot…never the less Gibson would just as soon hit any batter who crowded the plate. God help you if you hit a HR off him -plunk….I loved Gibson.
I was pretty young and Gibson was the first black pitcher that I ever saw. Up to that time I assumed that only white players were good pitchers. Ha…

Here’ s the friendliest picture I’ve ever seen of Bob Gibson

why doesn't Gibson get mroe mention these days?
he has to be the most forgotten about legendary pitcher in the games history.

I remember one time going out to the mound to talk with Bob Gibson. He told me to get back behind the batter; that the only thing I knew about pitching was that it was hard to hit.

We have gotten rid of Billy Packer
Can’t we shed ourselves of this tool?
