Dock Ellis threw a no-hitter for the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1970. It’s the only known no-hitter ever tossed while the pitcher was on LSD. Professional baseball hadn’t fully embraced racial equality either, and Dock was an outspoken leader. This documentary shows how his fearlessness enabled him to become an intimidating pitcher and a civil rights trailblazer.
