No No A Dockumentary
« on: January 02, 2015, 06:51:40 am »
Just finished watching this doc on Dock Ellis and enjoyed it tremendously. Not always a nice guy (particularly when he was high which was pretty much all the time) but he did turn his life around. How you feel about the film will likely depend on how you feel about Ellis.

Enos Cabell, Bob Watson and Scipio Spinks all with facetime talking about Ellis (significantly so for Cabell and Watson).

Has been playing on Showtime and then TMC but not sure of future scheduling.

I have little frame of reference since he stopped pitching when I was 7 or 8 (he wasn't bad or good...just a guy who didn't pitch for the Astros), but it was a very well done documentary...I've watched it a couple of times.

BTW, there are no additional showings scheduled over the next couple of weeks, but is it available on Showtime On Demand.

It is on Netflix now and well worth the watch.

I knew Doc Ellis briefly, post baseball.  We both worked for Brad Corbett for a time in Ft. Worth.

Was pretty mellow when I knew him, a pleasant fellow to got to lunch with.
