"he's throwing a spitball."
the third base umpire
to get back to third base.
"You don't know what
you're talking about.
He came out one day with
curlers in his hair,
and it, you know,
everybody was shocked.
And it, you know,
everybody was shocked.
I was sitting in the dugout with
Danny murtaugh, the manager,
and he says to me,
"hey, is this your buddy there?"
And I looked at him and
thought, "oh, my God.
Is this dock?"
dock there, and there were
red and blue and yellow curlers
on his head.
Danny murtaugh came to me,
and he said, "Bob," he said,
"go out there in the bullpen
and tell dock
to take the curlers
out of his hair."
So I walked out, and dock knew
why I was coming out there.
He said, "alright.
What do you need?"
I said, "well..."
I said, "well..."
"'Bout my hair, isn't it?"
And I said, "yeah."
It was no big thing to me.
You know, I saw curlers
all the time.
And maybe it was
a cultural thing.
You know, in the black
community, you saw, you know,

be able to wear their hair
any way they damn well please.
Dock:
In wearing thecurlers on the field,
i was defying the club because
they said I couldn't wear
part of the uniform code.
That's not acceptable.
That's not the image that
major league baseball
that's not the image that
major league baseball
wants to portray.
Dock:
I was anti-managementbecause I didn't
believe in anyone trying to tell
me how to dress, who to date.
I remember one time I had my
hair braided and they wanted
to know what is that about.
Don't ask me about my
hair being braided.
Get out of my face.
When he decided to wear curlers,
they suspended him for 10 days,
but we resisted the suspension,
and it went away.
Dock:
You know, it's not thatyou got to watch how I dress.
Dock:
You know, it's not thatyou got to watch how I dress.
You got to watch how I play.
Baseball in that decade really
collided with pop culture
in a way that it never
had previously.
We saw players expressing
themselves in ways that,
you know, the media and baseball
fans weren't really
used to seeing.
