That's gotta be one of the greatest sports stories ever. Just hilarious.

That clip is full of great lines, but my favorite might be, "Wow! What happened to yesterday?!"

Actually, Dock Ellis has another equally awesome story, if only because it involved beaning Pete Rose and Joe Morgan...

Ellis attempted to hit every batter in the Cincinnati Reds lineup on May 1, 1974 in an effort to prove a point to teammates. Ellis hit Pete Rose, Joe Morgan, and Dan Driessen in the top of the first. The clean-up batter Tony Perez avoided Ellis' attempts, instead drawing a walk, and after two pitches aimed at the head of Johnny Bench, Ellis was removed from the game by manager Danny Murtaugh. Ellis' box score for the game reads: 0 IP, 0 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 0 K

So, out of curiosity, does video of the no hitter exist? It's something I've always wanted to see.
