Ellis was more than just a character, though: He was a key part of the 1971 World Series champion Pirates and the '76 Yankees, who won the pennant, and started the '71 All-Star Game for the National League opposite Oakland's Vida Blue-the first time two pitchers of color had ever started the Midsummer Classic.Photo by © Wikimedia Commons/ Salvia Salvia plantĬommon classic hallucinogens include the following: And he had to be expressly told by Commissioner Bowie Kuhn in '73 not to wear hair curlers onto the field. Another time, as a member of the Athletics in '77, he he took pitching charts he'd been ordered to fill out and burned them in the locker room, setting off the sprinklers. Once, in 1974 against the Reds, he made it his mission to plunk every Cincinnati batter in an attempt to intimidate the nascent Big Red Machine he got five hitters into it, nailing the first three and throwing over the heads of Tony Perez and Johnny Bench, before he was pulled. As a player, Ellis was equal parts ferocious and flamboyant. Nonetheless, it's an incredible story attached to an incredible career and life-one unfortunately overshadowed somewhat by the no-hitter.
