In 1974, Dock Ellis became the third Pittsburgh Pirate to throw a no-hitter. Above is the story, told by Dock hisself. Now here is the petition to have the MLB Network broadcast the game. Sign this petition.
Tip of the cap to Craig.
My friend Julia has a deep and abiding love for Central America. Her love is for Honduras in particular (with this business causing her no small amount of distress), but it extends in personal way to, essentially, all those poor who live and toil in the Spanish sun. Anyway, she and some of her talented friends were in El Salvador filming a documentary on the after-effects of the El Salvador civil war (which ended in ‘92), when the news of the disappearance of Marcelo Rivera came out. The civil war documentary was put on hold, and they filmed this short film on Rivera. It’s 8 minutes long, and is both infuriating and compassionate. Tell your friends.
