nope, i had never heard that, but i figured you guys knew about this.
my dad doesn't know too much about baseball, nevertheless who dock ellis is. he grew up in greece, came to the US with no money, worked at his uncle's fast food restuarant, started his own, and 40 some years later is semi-retired...yet still no time to learn the game of baseball it seems.
"The Pirates won the game, 2-0, although Ellis walked eight batters. It was the highpoint in the baseball career of one of the finer pitchers of his time, and arguably,one of the greatest achievements in the history of sports.[/b]"

NO DOUBT!
yessir. Ellis said there were times he couldn't see the catcher. wtf?
niiice. D recommended sending them in several 20-count boxes. Sounds like that's probably the safest approach.
That's what I'm talkin' about.

Son, it's time you knew about acid and the baseball heroes of my youth...
Yep.
Uh oh.
And Dreas: there are expanded editions of Ball Four and its sequels, "I'm Glad You Didn't Take It Personally" and "Foul Ball."
