I was reading about Dock's no-no recently in Cardboard Gods - if you were born in the laste 60's and collected baseball cards this is a must read!

That was something else.

"The ball was hit back at me real slow and I dived out the way thinking it was gonna hit me but then the third baseman picked it up and threw the guy out."

ROFL.

Just stuff passed along.  What I find amazing about YouTube is when you think you've seen something cool and new, then you see it has over a million views already, then you're like "wow, I'm of the loop huh!"

Got this off wiki

"I can only remember bits and pieces of the game. I was psyched. I had a feeling of euphoria. I was zeroed in on the (catcher's) glove, but I didn't hit the glove too much. I remember hitting a couple of batters and the bases were loaded two or three times. The ball was small sometimes, the ball was large sometimes, sometimes I saw the catcher, sometimes I didn't. Sometimes I tried to stare the hitter down and throw while I was looking at him. I chewed my gum until it turned to powder. I started having a crazy idea in the fourth inning that Richard Nixon was the home plate umpire, and once I thought I was pitching a baseball to Jimi Hendrix, who to me was holding a guitar and swinging it over the plate. They say I had about three to four fielding chances. I remember diving out of the way of a ball I thought was a line drive. I jumped, but the ball wasn't hit hard and never reached me."
