MLB's all-cokehead team

Was it Dock or Doc Ellis?

 

Dock.

And what about Darrell Porter at catcher over Santiago?

Porter delivered one of the great quotes of all time taling about his drug issues. I wish I could remember it exactly. It was something to the effect of, ``I used to watch other catchers jump around when they got hit by a foul tip and I'd say, `What patsies. That doesn't hurt.' Then I got off drugs and found out it really did.''

 

If Strawberry's on the team, his buddy Eric Davis deserves a spot, too.

 

Porter would be on the 70s-80s team.

In fact, we should break it down to the cocaine era (70s-80s) vs. the steroid era (90s-today) and have a winner-take-all series to determine what era was better.

 

Didn't they play "Roll Out The Barrels" when Porter came to the plate at either Yankee or Shea once?

 

Dock wasn't cocaine, it was LSD. I think he admitted being high when he pitched a no-hitter, and said he was not normal when he hit the first three batters in a game.

 

I'll take Otis Nixon for the block, please.

 

Willie Stargell should have a spot on that team.

Jay Payton should, at the very least, be the fourth outfielder on the 'roids team.

And the '93 Phillies should win some sort of team award.
