Dock:
Superfly.

(Groovy music)

(Groovy music)

Dock was a... he was

a dresser, man.

I mean, the big Cadillac.

He was flashy.

(Groovy music)

We were a team that was

dressed to kill.

We loved clothes.

And dock would wear

the loud colors.

Dock:
I wasn't like

Dennis rodman.

I didn't wear any dresses or

nothing, but I wore the clogs,

the bell-bottoms, the bags,

the t-shirts.

The bell-bottoms, the bags,

the t-shirts.

Dock's the first ballplayer

that I ever remember

who wore a earring.

Steve blass:
Dock was

up-to-date.

He was up-to-date.

He was a chapter ahead.

Whatever was going on

in culture or our world,

he was at least a chapter ahead.

He called himself the

'muhammad Ali of baseball'.

I asked him... I said,

"why you act so crazy?"

I asked him... I said,

"why you act so crazy?"

He says, "'cause that'll

make me money."

He learned it from...

He said he...

Because him and muhammad Ali

became friends.

And he said he'd always talk.

And the more he talked and he

bragged about himself,

the more people came to see him,

and the more money he made.

Right, I would agree.

He was always called

'peanut.'

okay? Because of his head.

But they changed it

because he was..

He nutted up on you in a minute.

And they just started

calling him 'the nut.'

because, in other words,

he was crazy.

Because, in other words,

he was crazy.

He was a controlled crazy.

He knew how to be crazy.

Marsha:
Right, yeah.

Paula:
He knew when to be crazy.

Yeah.

Selective crazy.

And when not to be crazy.

He would have a catchphrase

like 'the nut.

Nuttier than a walnut.'

'the crazy nut.'

'nutty nut.'

he intentionally would stir

your sh*t up, and get,

get in your head to where you'd

just get so pissed off

at him, you'd just want to

knock the hell out of him.

Ray Jones:
No, he was

good at that.

Floyd Hoffman:
He was good.

He always started sh*t.

Okay?

Okay?

If you went with dock somewhere,

you was gonna get put out

or your was gonna be

asked to leave.

And also, you know, he uh...He

always wanted to be a gangster.

If wouldn't have

played baseball,

he'd a been a gangster.

I really do believe.

Peter golenbock:
When you

were very young...

Five, six, seven,

eight years old...

Do you have any strong memories

of your playing baseball?

Do you have any strong memories

of your playing baseball?

Dock:
I remember

playing center field

and throwing the ball

over the backstop,

so they put me on the mound.

As we grew older and he started

playing baseball,

and I wouldn't play baseball

with him after a while because

he would throw the ball so hard.

It would be so hard you could

hear this ball cutting the air.
