Mr. Ellis is most famous for pitching a no-hitter with a head full of LSD &#8211; I knew there was more to him than that, but I did not know how much more.<\/p>\n<p>No No: A Documentary is one of the most interesting biographies I&#8217;ve seen in a very long time.

As I was heading in to the local big city this AM I listened to <a href=\"https:\/\/onlyagame.wbur.org\/2014\/09\/20\/dock-ellis-documentary-pittsburgh\">a segment on Only a Game<\/a>: a conversation with Jeffery Radice, who made No No, and Tom Reich, Dock&#8217;s agent. On a personal note, the names of some of the Pirates my dad and I saw play at Forbes Field: Roberto Clemente, Willy Stargell, Manny Sanguillen &#8211; brought tears to my eyes.
