How Dock Ellis, Player Who Pitched a No-Hitter on LSD, Is Misremembered

Instead of the infamous game for the Pirates, the pitcher should be remembered as an outspoken activist and advocate for sobriety.

Rolling Stone
Explore the courageous activism of Dock Ellis, who fought against racism in baseball and beyond. As a trailblazer in advocating for civil rights, Ellis's bold stance continues to inspire progress towards equality and inclusivity in the sport. #DockEllis #CivilRights #BaseballActivism
I’m at the mid-July game in the #DockEllis League. It’s a meeting of two teams from #Richmond, the Morticians and the Scrappers, who are hosting the West #Philly Waste. A lovely, muddy day at Bill Robinson Playground in the Chimbarazo neighborhood of Richmond. #Baseball #MasodonBaseball
