... i love the story where, after feeling they got screwed on ball/strikes the night before, he told off the ump before the game, The ump then refused to call any strikes for the first three batters. Murtaugh came out of the dugout to argue, and the ump told him no strikes would be called until Dock was replaced... Baseball used to be more awesomer. WHYGAlHrabosky? |

... Dock was hard core. Indeed a Pirate through and through, Pat. The story goes: in the early part of '74, the Reds were a little too full of themselves and Dock had to put them in their place. Rose got it in the ribs, Morgan in the kidneys and Driessen in the ribs. Tony Perez dodged four bean balls and a run was walked in. Then Murtaugh pulled him. Ultimately.... The buccos went on to win their division and LA won the west... the Redlegs stayed home. Nuff Said Dock. |

He went 9-1 and lowered his ERA from 4.5 to 3.2 but got hurt in mid September and missed the last month of the season. I've often wondered how the postseason might have gone if Dock had been able to finish out the campaign. He might well have been the best pitcher in baseball as that season was winding down. |

... Many people remember the monster home-run Reggie Jackson hit off of him in the 1971 All-Star Game. Less people remember when Dock went to the Yankees in 1976, he faced Jackson again. Dock hit him in the face with a fastball. Jackson was taken off the field on a stretcher. That's how you play the f'ing game. |
