Barry Bonds? I'd hit him at least once a game. 'Cause he's got all that shit on. Yeah, let's see that shit stop the ball from hurting him if I hit him on the motherfucking elbow or something. I'd hit him just to see, does it work?
-Dock Ellis on pitching to Barry Bonds
At his peak, Dock Ellis was literally like Bob Gibson on acid. An intimidating right hander, Ellis pitched a no hitter under the influence of LSD, beaned Reggie Jackson in the face for showboating after a homerrun, five years after the incident took place, and didn't give a fuck what anybody thought.
Ellis has now been sober for over two decades and works as drug counselor.
