June 12th marks the 50th anniversary of the famous Dock Ellis no hitter...on LSD. But our Pirate legend was also a civil rights advocate and drug and alcohol counselor. If you have time, please watch No No: a Dockumentary. “On June 12, 1970, Dock Ellis threw a no-hitter for the Pittsburgh Pirates. In 136 years of baseball history, only 276 no-hitters have been recorded. Dock is the only pitcher to ever claim he accomplished his while high on LSD. During his 12 years in the major leagues, Dock lived the expression "Black is Beautiful!" He wore curlers on the field. He stepped out of his Cadillac wearing the widest bell bottoms and the broadest collars. When he put on his uniform, he was one of the most intimidating pitchers of the 1970s. Dock was often at the forefront of controversy and has been called the “Muhammad Ali of Baseball.” He was an outspoken leader of a new wave of civil rights in sports, when black athletes were no longer content to accept second-class treatment or keep their mouths shut about indignities. For this, the press labeled him a militant. After Dock retired from baseball, he was as outspoken about his addictions to alcohol and amphetamines (aka “greenies”) as he had been about racial prejudice during his career. He spent his last decades using that blunt honesty as a counselor helping other addicts, until his death from liver disease in 2008.” #DockEllis #PittsburghPirates #NoHitter via @pcarl24 @original_grasshopper https://www.instagram.com/p/CBVY4sEjqsN/?igshid=1tr6xy8ndo9po

Last night I came across a video on YouTube of Ad-Rock on Sirius’ Blaze45. This led me down a Beastie Boys history and all things MCA YouTube hole for a bit bc I miss MCA. I then came across this documentary about Dock Ellis (Ad-Rock scored), so I just watched it and I think it was meant to be that I see this documentary at this point in my life! I had NO idea about this guy’s life. Don’t give up hope on those around you who might want to give up...press on! Excellent doc. And I’m sure some of you are surprised I watched a sports-related doc, but baseball is always the exception hahaha #dockellis #pirates #turnyourlifearound #adrock #baseball #greenies #nono #dark #light https://www.instagram.com/p/Bm6bINDBaIt/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=jsdvxh9ujoz0

50yrs ago today #DockEllis pitched a no-hitter.One of the illest things a pitcher cud do on the field. Let alone doing while “exploring” other realms of reality, to put it mildly. I wanna thank Brian @hokiecal_art for working with me on this project his work is recognizing in many circles. @rezidynce gave us the freedom to create what we wanted, resulting in this gem 💎.

When this is sitting on your porch, your day just got way better. This @Topps #Project70 card featuring the incomparable #DockEllis is one of my favorite trading cards ever produced. Outstanding vision realized by artist #CES @CES4WISH, I love it. Which reminds me, if you’ve never seen the film #NoNoADockumentary — do yourself a favor and watch it. It’s brilliant. @PittsburghPirates @MLB #baseball ⚾️ (at Rockaway, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQG-9pbhiKL/?utm_medium=tumblr
