As one of the comments pointed out, the box score would indicate the pitcher was "Ellis, D." For those who need help, think phonetically.

The absolute best documentary I watched this year was "No, No: A Dockumentary".

Absolutely amazing.

I will fully admit going into tears during Dock's reading of the letter from Jackie Robinson and talking about losing Clemente.

If anyone has not seen it, I suggest setting time aside tonight. No joke...tonight.

What a successful pack. Two current Tigers (Parrish and Glynn), a former Tiger (Niekro), a future Tiger's rookie card (Lopez) and a sibling of a Tiger (Tom Underwood, brother of Pat). Nicely done!
