I worked a card show he was at and spent the afternoon talking to him to keep him from being bored. We laughed so hard we were both crying. I had him sign a 8x10 to my girl friend , last night was great can't wait till next time im in town love Doc Ellis .... Was a joke to my girl friend she said no one would do it. Doc did but said my wife better never see this. My girl friend kept it beside her bed till she died dec 2008 then I kept it there till it was stolen . Great memory of great time. Awesome guy very funny..

Jordan - I can see why you wanted to save an entire vlog on him. A fascinating life. What an interesting guy. Thank you for sharing this Jordan. Blessings - Judith 🎭🎵

Very cool that you did a vlog on Dock. I got to know Dock a little during the Senior Professional Baseball League. It was held in FL in 89/90 and my family had season tix for the St Pete Pelicans (a team Dock was a pitcher/pitching coach for). Got to talk to him a lot. Hugely nice guy, and helped a lot of players try to get off drugs or to not abuse drugs while they're in MLB. I also got to talk to Dave Cash, his Pirates teammate at the time of the LSD incident. Dave told us a hilarious story about how he would sit next to him (something players didn't do if their pitcher was pitching a No hitter), but he'd sit next to him occasionally during the game and go "man, you're still throwing a no hitter!" knowing he was high still. lol They were good friends though. That was an amazing league you would have loved. It was filled with players over 35 who had MLB experience. There were several HOF's and big stars from the 60s and 70s.

Dock's story would make a great movie script Jordan.

My dad in the early 1960's worked at a bowling alley near LAX called Airport Bowl. It was around where Century City is. Before all the landing lights and fences were in place today, we would sit in our car at the end of the runway and watch the planes take off and land right over us. Some fun days.

the name of my cousin's band is Doc Ellis

This is why I like Jordan. I learn so much about ppl I didn't know about. Thanks

catch the film "No No: A Dockumentary"

As a Cubs fan I saw quite a bit of Dock Ellis and some really good Pirates teams. I did see him pitch at Wrigley Field. Dock was a pretty good pitcher, and quite the character. Sadly both of his daughters passed away young. Only his son survives.

"I saw 3 guys at the plate and I aimed at the middle!" I'm not even a baseball guy, but growing up in Pittsburgh that was such a legendary story. I always said that if I ever made a sports movie that wasn't about Hockey, it would have been that story. The documentary is quiet awesome.

"higher than a Georgia pine"

He was a character. Glad he was able to turn his life around. Thank you for sharing about his life with us. It was very interesting. God bless you and Jah.

You were right as always Dock was a extremely interesting and talented individual. And I enjoyed hearing his story. Especially the fact that he turned his life around and was trying to help others not get into the trap that he had been in. God bless him and rest in peace.

Thankyou for sharing this video, for someone who's not American but remember the story of Doc Ellis panning out in News papers and media world wide back in the 70's you never forget a legend like him . You told his story really well Jordan, good to see the Jah ster getting his walk 💙it.

I saw Dock Ellis pitch at Three Rivers Stadium back in the 1970’s. Great vlog (as always)!

Jordan, enjoyed your Vlog on Doc Ellis. I have been a Pirates fan for 50 years, and saw Doc pitch several times. I always hated the big red machine growing up. But have great respect for them now. The Pirates/ Reds battles were always great baseball. Look forward to meeting you , if you ever get to Pittsburgh. Thanks for all the great Vlogs and sharing your life with us.

A really interesting vlog and I learned a bunch!! Great job! I enjoyed it immensely!

Making a peanut butter sandwich on LSD is a mission. I couldn't imagine pitching a ball game.

Great pic of him with Chuck Mangione, great vlog too...legendary player 👌

Great story telling again by Jordan . Well done I was entertained with well researched material paced out nicely from beginning to end on the Dock .

That was a very important vlog, Jordan. It's important to get the word out that life Can change for the best when you are at your worse! I don't think I had heard of him before & I love baseball, but I'll tell you this, I won't forget his story now!! Thanks Jordan!!! ❤️

That was fantastic. You tell the history of someone's life in such an interesting way. I wish you all the best life has to offer.

Jordan thank for Introducing me to people, places and wonderful history. I can't go see these places, but after watching your wonderful vlogs I feel I have been there. Thank you so much.

🦁 I am on a Pittsburgh lay over, while watching this video. Perfect timing 👏🏼👍👏🏼

Being from Pittsburgh and always a fan of the Pittsburgh Pirates, this is really great Jordan.

That explains the flower pot he was wearing instead of a baseball cap. Reminiscent of BJ Thomas who recorded his iconic song, "Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head" while totally stoned, who, now that he's reformed and sober sees it as a tragic consequence of his addiction that he has no recollection of his career's crowning achievement.

In 1976 - The Yankees were led to the world series by Dock but they couldn't beat the big red machine to win the 🏆 George Steinbrenner & Dock had an off season fiscal disagreement & Dock was gone. Great eccentric figure in baseball history.

Good episode. I've got family members who talk about Doc Ellis, what a turn around. And Roberto, here in Pittsburgh he has a museum dedicated to him. You should visit, what a dear soul.

I'm not into sports so had never heard of him. This is great to know. Thank you so much for sharing his story and the great things he did at the end to make amends and save others.

Awesome job! Sure appreciate your efforts in capturing this for us all to see! You are the most Creative KZfaqr i have seen! Your topics are of quality content,& never end with the excellent content! I have never heard a swear word nor negatively talk about anything! We love and care about you 2 dude's the Jah n Jordan crew! Be safe Luv&Peace Sean&family Cheers from Sask Canada!

This was such an amazing story to hear. As a native NYer, and Yankees fan, I loved hearing his background. He was quite the character

Jordan, that thumbnail had me all kinds of confused at first, lol! Great job, as always. Thank you.

I don't remember Dock so much but I do remember Roberto Clemente's plane crash and Thurman Munson's crash. At least he got sober and was in a position with personal knowlegde and schooling to help others.

You should check out "America's Favorite Pastime", a hilarious song by folksinger Todd Snider, about the Dock Ellis LSD story,

Love your storytelling. Of course your lovely dog is the cherry on the top. Thanks for this post. 👍🙂

Hey Jordan love your sports vlogs and this was a special one about Doc you presented it extremely well ! I remember Doc pitching bug you revealed so much to me. ! Nice job

I thought this was a very interesting video, Jordan! Not to much of a sports fan but I loved, absolutely, enjoyed hearing you speak about Dock. Thank you for telling us his story! May he RIP

Great to see Jah. Remember Dock Ellis as a good solid pitcher who always gave his team a chance to win

Wow great story. I am heading over to find his documentary. Thank you!

Thank you Jordan with the pandemic right now I get to travel to places with you on this adventure with my cell ph and KZfaq Ch I have indeed subscribed I just had a heart valv replacement at age 41 the last time I had open heart sugurey was at age 2 1982 Iam a person with a disability a bad back hearing loss some but I enjoy your shows Thank you for doing what you do during these hard times

Dock Ellis is my father, thank you for the story. This broke my heart ♥️ when I saw the title

He sounds like he was one wild guy ! Thank you ,Jordan this was very interesting. I love the hair roller story . I bet it did make the Coaches see red .😆 RIP. Doc🕊️🌹

Interesting vlog. I like to hear happy endings. Sparky was the manager of the Tigers in 1984 when they won the world series. Great players on that team. Have you heard of Jim Abbott the one handed pitcher from Flint Michigan? My home town. He pitched a no hitter for the Yankees in 1993. He wrote an interesting book about his life. Great guy.

Thanks for the Vlog!! Loved Dock as a young kid growing up in PA during his time with the Bucs, good memories..

What an amazing story. What is most amazing is to see you Doc turned his life around. That is always the best thing is when a person learns and grows. They advance to the next level of higher learning.

Hi Jordan, well, Jah was on a mission this morning. I can't imagine losing a whole day, that would really frighten me. However he managed to function on all that must really take some going. Nice that he helped people later on. Great vlog Jordan.

Never heard of him I learned something new . Thanks for sharing.

All of your Vlogs are an opportunity to learn. This Vlog is very interesting. Rock Ellis his life deserves to be told. Thank you Jordan.

An awesome vlog about Dock.

Awesome vlog Jordan! I love the baseball vlogs that you’ve done, and Dock is a baseball legend.

I don't care a hill of beans abouts, but I have always found athletes lives very interesting. The things they do to up their game, or even just because they can is fascinating.

Love it man Iam a huge Evel Knievel fan I noticed you have the Evel figure on your opening to the video have you ever thought of maby one day going to Butte Montana and taking a look at his grave site I know a family member and other Mororcycle Jumpers who would be glad to give you insights on the sport Evel created just think that would be very cool I’m just one of your many loyal fans out there from South Texas

Dock Ellis was certainly a unique and interesting character. Thanks for sharing his story with us, Jordan. I'm glad that, in the end, he cleaned up his act and went on to help others. May he Rest In Peace.

LOVE YOUR CHANNEL great job ❤❤👍👍

You’re a true blazing to us. People like you born to keep history to be continue. You helping us to remember all the Hollywood stars up and downs in life. Thank you very much from a Brazilian fan.

💋Great vlog as usual. What story! Blessings to you and Jah. ~Love&Light💖C.

My husbands father was a baseball scout in the 50’s and 60’s, this was a very special vlog, ty Jordan 🥰

Great video Jordan, very interesting!! Thanks again!!!

Thanks Jordan, I wasn't a big fan of Baseball and hadn't heard of Doc, but he was very interesting. Thanks for the Video!

I really enjoyed this one. Great job, Jordan

I am not promoting drugs but I’m not gonna be a liar either but I did try LSD or acid and I don’t know how he pitched on that that is so funny I can barely talk without laughing another great vlog brother!

Jordan,👍👏👏👏😃. How did I miss this vlog?. I think I got a new phone last year and I got behind. This was a Great Vlog, Great Story, Hey I grew up loving sports, baseball, basketball, football, wrestling, racing, all the girls in our family was exposed to this. My oldest brother played basketball and ran track. He was good in highschool. He won a lot trophies and medals. He went to college, unfortunately. He got hit by a drunk driver, his neck was broken. It ended any chance of him playing profrssional. This vlog I found so interesting..bit funny. Most of All, he changed his life. He made a difference before he passed. Sometimes something has to happen before one get the message. I never saw Dock spelled that way. What you have done Jordan with your Vlogs is re introduce us to people we were either too young to remember, forgot, or just for some reason, never heard of. Don't think for one minute what you do don't matter. I for one I'm restful your Vlogs cover a variety of things, places, people. I get excited when I hear the notification bell ping. I know whatever you vlog is going to be good.👍. You made the right choice to do this as a living. I'm enjoying all of your videos. I always learn something. Take care, give JAH a belly rub for me. We love you both.💞💞. Love, respect and positivity always. ✌️🖖🤗🥰💞😁🌠🌷. Vee.🙂👋.

Another great vlog Jordan thanks

Wow. What a story! Not a sports fan per se, but YES, great choice for vlog subject.

I know we commented on this video but we thought we saw a live stream where you had a caption saying you got it. Did we miss it and did you get you house. If so that's cool and congratulations. We are so happy for you

Very good job!

Very interesting and respectfully done! I enjoyed it

this cemetery is in high demand people are just dying to get in..R.I.P DOC

Another great one Jordan

Hi Jordan, thank you for your smile and cheerful demeanor. I love that you bring us stories of people we may have never heard of before and, for me, Dock Ellis is one of those. It appears that he lived a very reckless and self-indulgent life and hurt many people along the way. Despite this he appears to have been a great baseball player. However, I'm glad that he eventually found redemption and used his experiences and voice to help other people who may have already gone down that path or prevent others from doing it.

Great vlog Jordan! Go Yankees! Lol I met Doc years ago in my early 20's when I was at a Yankee game.

What a great Vlog and I enjoyed getting the Sunglasses. Thank you Jordan

Wow, what great stories! Thank you.

Sayonara for now Doc. A Pirate forever. Free spirit, now you are free. Say hi to Roberto for me. RIP.

What a story Jordan, thank you .

I was there two years ago, the building to your right has johnny Cochran and his parents

Love the baseball vlogs..but you always do a fantastic job in whatever vlog you make...thanks for always doing your best for us

RIP, Dock.

Goosebumps

Happy New Year Jordan and Jah 🎉 I loved this video and all the background on Dock Ellis❣

Jordan great vlog learn about Dock Ellis will be checking out "No No film

Great story.

Long suffering Pirate fan here. Really enjoyed this

So interesting very cool one Jordan😎

LOVE your peacocks

What a great story on this man

I could play hella good ping pong while 'enhanced' . I think it was illegal doping,lol.

That was very good vlog I didn’t know that players did drugs back then

Great, Jordan.

When Fisk was with the Red Sox, he didn't like his teammates talking to (possibly other teams) but definitely the Yankees. When Jerry Remy was with the Red Sox, they were playing the Yankees, Remy was going to say hello to Mickey Rivers (who Remy played with on Angels) Fisk, grabbed him and said "you don't talk to them, there the enemy." I know someone in the sports media and he told me greenies were out in the open, they were on the table where the food spread for the players.

Another great vlog! I don’t care whether it’s a movie star, musician, or sports star a good story is a good story.

This was a very informative video about Dock Ellis, we had not heard a lot about him, he was quick a character.

Awesome , thanks Jordon!

The title of the video made me laugh so I had to watch this ! Lol

Hey Jordan! 🥳

As a Pirate fan, I appreciate your approach to the truth about Dock Ellis. I was 7 in "71" and Dock was my favorite pitcher. Had no clue at that time what he was all about. All I know is he won games. At 7 that's all that mattered. Glory of the Pirate Organization is in trouble again.

Reggie hit a 500 ft home run off doc Ellis

swear I don't know how he did it speaking of crazy life Mark Fidrich crazy players he should have played for Charlie Finley

Hey Jordan 👋 Happy New Year
