Dot and I were there and agree Thom. I had seen the YouTube illustrated short about Dock and even in the humor of that sensed a deeper story. I personally think he helped baseball get out of the it’s deep rut. It was such a personal challenge and took a huge tole on him. Very well done movie from my perspective.
Not sure if you stuck around for the question period afterward, but one note was that part of the show was Dock talking about his drug use after he had retired and gotten clean. It was brought to light that footage came from some sports show in which Dock was interviewed right after an interview with The LanceMeister, who was still in total LIE / DENIAL mode at the time. Dock was one in a million.

Subject: [OBRA Chat] OT: a "Dockumentary"

A few of us went to see the Portland premiere of "No No: A Dockumentary" last night, a Sundance-screened movie produced by Team Oregon member Chris Cortez. It's about the life of Dock Ellis, the MLB pitcher who threw a no-hitter on LSD. It's an amazing story that captures so much of the insanity of baseball during the 70s: racism, drugs, free agency, you name it.

The movie is on iTunes, and may have more screenings on the big screen here in town. Highly, highly recommended.
