Dock Ellis, R.I.P. 1945-2008

For providing us with the most heavy-metal moment in professional sports, pitching a no-hitter while tripping on LSD (if you can think of any moment MORE metal than that, please advise), for intentionally beaning 4 Cincinnati Reds players (including Pete Rose) while hopped up on speed, nay, for being one of the most badass, heavy-metal, original gangsta players of any sport (apologies to Jacks Lambert, Joe Greene, Brian Trottier, et al), for being the Nikki Sixx of sports, Jane must say ...

R.I.P, Dock Ellis.
