Dock Ellis, R.I.P.

Dock Ellis, the former Texas Rangers pitcher who once threw a no-hitter while tripping on acid, passed away on Friday. Definitely click that first link, as it takes you to a fantastic profile written by the great Keven McAlester, who does that sort of thing in his spare time when he’s not directing movies and videos and so on.
