I love it!<BR/><BR/>I am also the little-known Redondo rapper, "Pugnacious Poster".<BR/><BR/>Dig the song, although that doesn't mean I'm showin' love to the song's subject. <BR/><BR/>I mean, I love gospel music, but I don't believe in the Gospel.<BR/><BR/>I know Dock Ellis ended up cleaning up his act, and I read that now he's sick as hell, needing a liver transplant...JohnnyRussiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17762519937853743386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4315379806141378445.post-54973616054032283992008-07-30T13:24:00.000-07:002008-07-30T13:24:00.000-07:00Jesus, no wonder nobody posts comments here...I fo...Jesus, no wonder nobody posts comments here...<BR/><BR/>I found it odd that a Yankee fan could show any love to the guy who tried to end Reggie Jackson's career...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4315379806141378445.post-10197562555807599912008-07-30T12:41:00.000-07:002008-07-30T12:41:00.000-07:00I never said this was better song than Zevon's. No...I never said this was better song than Zevon's. Note the word "new" in the post's title...<BR/><BR/>And being a Yankee fan has nothing to do with liking a song about Dock Ellis, who may have been a "punk", but who could pitch like a son-of-a-bitch in his prime. An intimidator.<BR/><BR/>Just read the words of the guys who faced him. <BR/><BR/>And I don't think the LSD story is an "urban legend", as several of his teammates have confirmed it through the years. HBO also found old footage from both the game and--more telling--a post-game interview featuring a more-bizarre than usual Dock Ellis.<BR/><BR/>So, no, TBLMISBT, I don't claim this is the best song about baseball or a baseball player ever.<BR/><BR/>For me, that award goes to Steve Goodman and "A Dying Cub Fan's Last Request".<BR/><BR/>And--HEY--that one's not about the Yankees, either!JohnnyRussiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17762519937853743386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4315379806141378445.post-64774570523195863832008-07-30T12:12:00.000-07:002008-07-30T12:12:00.000-07:00Um, I thought you were a Yankee fan?

Doc was a punk and bullshit artist.<BR/><BR/>BTW, Warren Zevon's Bill Lee is the best baseball player song. Even Dylan's Catfish is a better song.<BR/><BR/>The return of the best looking man in show business today.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
