This is better than anything on MLB network.

He was the Dennis Rodman of the MLB, Dennis looked up to him for motivation

As a former Deadhead who followed the band around for a bit and did my share of LSD as well as watched over people who were tripping balls. . . you can't always tell. Someone on a trip can sound and act normal, even a little more subdued than usual. It depends on the dosage and time elapsed. Based on the story, Doc was probably on the way down when he took the mound, meaning his visuals would be weird and sounds would be funny, but he was past the "I can taste colors!" stage. The discrepancy in timing also makes sense. LSD can screw with your sense of time, recent memory formation, and order of events understanding. So for Doc, it felt like he got there 90 minutes before the first pitch because his brain compressed the time. Everyone else saw him wander in on time, and probably very quiet during the team meeting and pre-game warm-ups. Another great video!

They didn’t like this guy because he knew his worth and had self respect at a time when it actually took balls to do so.

As a Pirates fans, I can attest that Dock was a wild man, one the great baseball characters of all time. He was also a really good pitcher but unfortunately he had severe substance abuse problems and obvious anger issues. He was also a really good man who turned his life around. A true baseball legend for better or for worse.

Hearing the racism stories hurt me. I met Luis Tiant a few years back and he told me that he used to get called monkey and all types of things

4:55 Thank you for showing us what a leg is. This is the attention to detail I love from this channel.

As someone who’s done LSD a handful of times, if Dock was taking psychedelics as often as he was doing everything then I’m not surprised no one could tell he was on it at the time. LSD doesn’t make you see dragons & shit lol he was just trippin balls having the game of his life

Absolute legend with a huge heart, RIP

This dude is crazy and a character, interesting to learn more about his career

Banning curlers is such a hilarious tidbit of this story.

Always a great day when BDE uploads, especially in the offseason when we have baseball withdrawals.

Pure gold. Doc is a legend

Hell of a video man. I don’t even watch baseball anymore, but I’ve now seen every one of your videos.

Your videos got me back into baseball. You're the best.

W day, W channel, W life when he uploads See when baseball doesn’t exist upload all the stress goes away

Now this is what I subscribed for, great stuff dude

They need to make a movie about Dock

Honestly the best videos out there. Always fun and entertaining. Keep up the great work man!

Baseballdoesn’texist videos feel like one long cold open that never ends and I love it

Yooo you are one of the best yt channels out their keep up the good work

he describes his visuals from his trip like every high schooler who has never done psychedelics brags 😂

Never heard of this guy. He was certainly a pioneer. What a real man, need more like this one

Doc Ellis is the man, RIP to this legend

I'm not a big baseball fan, but I love the content on this channel. I'd love to see a video on $0.10 beer night.

I didn't know about this monster. Biggest lad of pirates history.

He was not sober for a single game. And he’s the reason curlers are banned in the league! But the best was the fact that he was SHIRTLESS under a Steelers jacket while pinch running!! He’s my all time FAVORITE baseball player period hands down!!

I love your content keep it up man

Strangely, the box score lists this guy as: Ellis D. LSD? Ell-is-dee? Forshadowing?

the 70s were wild days

I don't particularly care for baseball, but your storytelling is what got me to subscribe. Well done. Keep it up

Been waiting on this video for a long long time. Cheers

Honestly your vids are insane

he took some Ellis, D.

Just made my day, love ur vids

Thanks so much for keeping baseball interesting in these trying times

That dinner gag is absolutely amazing.

Love your vids man🗣️

Your videos are so good man… for some reason my kid stopped crying when I casted that video in the tv and started listening haha

Man your videos are getting so much better! Keep it up! 🎉❤

Anyone else thought this would be a Cody Bellinger video?

Met him a couple of times in the late seventies and early eighties. Never had a problem with him.

Been waiting so long for this episode.

Also dude, your narration is sooooo much better in this video than others. You got it perfect

I read Doc's book, he was something...! Actually Dave Parker talks about him in his book, pretty interesting stuff.... I'll say this, I loved watching the guy pitch, even though I was a White Sox fan... He was really smooth on the mound, loved his delivery, he had talent but a heck of a character.... RIP #17

LSD was way stronger back then too so that makes it even more amazing. This absolutely happened. LSD isn't a bad thing, in fact for most people it's quite positive, spiritual even. Dock Ellis is a LEGEND and he deserves every bit of that title. He's been through more than most can even fathom and he deserves an apology from mlb among many others. Just the amount of racism this man endured is a disgrace to baseball and our entire country.

Great video as always. Thanks!

I don't even like baseball but I watch every video you put out Good job 👍

lets bring back the phrase "missed it by the skin of a hot dog"

and here I am watching this completely stoned out of my mind feeling like my face is melting😂

These videos are better than any documentary i've watched

Hey, man. Relatively new subscriber, here. Just wanted to say that you do a really great job putting these videos together. Cheers. 🙂

This channel is getting me into baseball

Dock Ellis was the embodiment of the 70s

your work is so great that you make a video about a baseball player i don’t care about entertaining, cheers.

Absolutely sick video man! Not complaining, but quieter music would really help us harder of hearing to make out your commentary a bit better

I would freakin love it if there was players like this today. Im sick of the way sports have gotten so soft and fluffy. Guys like Doc are fucking legends!

Diz is gonna be a banga!!!

This is BY FAR the BEST video I've came across in My recommendations to say the least.

You are the only KZfaqr I look forward to releasing videos

Dock doesn’t get enough love. He’s a real one

Love your content ❤😂

Yoooooo I fckng love this channel 😂💯 never even knew about this pitcher!

One of the best documentaries ive ever ever seen. I knew about the LSD no-hitter but nothing of the other stuff.

He was like if Hunter S. Thompson played baseball lol

This has to be the most hilarious baseball story!🤣🤣

Love this channel so so much.

I like the strings in the intro, but it's good if you end the intro with the baseball doesn't exist title card like you used to do. Keep up the good work.

lol I knew Dock was a colorful character but holy crapamoly man that was a trip.

I really appreciate this channels dedication to its content by finding and utilizing authentic footage of the subject to help tell the story at hand, rather than using stock footage and a medium shot of the narrator to fill gaps.

your videos hit different😊

I read this story along time ago! Great story!

you knocked it out of the park with this one!! You the GOAT!!

What’s cool about this story is when my dad passed away, I too got depressed and baseball and working out is the only thing that’s kinda saved me.

Unironically love the 'Irish Goodbye' at the end of your videos lmao

This man is a legend. Great videos bro.

The best game I've ever pitched ( 3 shutout innings , with an 8 pitch inning) totally tripping on some very fluffy L. I got the super focus and the curve was with me lol.

By far & away the very best baseball content on KZfaq.

This is one of the best videos I’ve ever watched.

Aint even halfway thru vid and his street rep has my mind blown 🤯 This man is the definition of 🐐

Doc was the absolute definition of a real one

Ellis has been my favorite MLB'er of all time for my entire life, and I'm not even a pirates fan... I love this guy. One of the most interesting athletes who ever played professional sports.

Can you do a video on Carl Everett?

Omg that animated Video they did for the no hitter is one of my favorite vids on this site. I say "I'm as high as a Georgia pine" on a pretty regular basis

Legend. RIP.

Been subscribed since day one love the channel man

Thank you, thank you, thank you for this video, amazing!

Love you bro 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Bro came to the game baked as hell

Great video but how many times are people going to post this? Very interesting nonetheless

lol man what a story. Great vid!

Yet another banger

BDE single-handedly carrying the MLB content community. Two minutes into a video of a player I didn't even know existed until the video and suddenly I'm hit square in the dick by an epiphany. I've never had a favorite Athlete until now and I'm a degenerate fan Dock is my favorite athlete, from any sport I've spent the last 35 years watching. In life, you have to take the good as well as the bad. Dock seemed to chase his _bad_ , with a handful of pills and that's tragic, truly. Cheers to Dock for being a human, helping other humans to become the best human they can be… on his free time, for *free* . Perfectly flawed and thats cool. Bravo BDE, amazing project

My uncle used to tell a story about being high on acid during a boxing match, he said it was one of his best fights mainly due to the fact he "knew where they were trying to punch before they threw the punch"

Love ur vids

Doc is Legendary 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏👏👏

Doc Ellis, Ryne Sandberg, Sammy Sosa, and Zach Grienke are my all time favorite mlb players.

This is actually mad interesting W Dock tbh

Such a good video ❤

YESSS HE POSTS THANK GOD
