Dock Ellis in the Country of Baseball
Donald Hall, Author, Dock Ellis, With Fireside Books $22.95 (352p) ISBN 978-0-671-65988-2
Outspoken and fiercely independent, black athlete Ellis refused to ingratiate himself with baseball's powers-that-be, a decision that hindered his career. While with the Pittsburgh Pirates, he achieved a certain notoriety for appearing on the field with his hair in curlers or wearing a gold earring. PW called this biography ``nothing special.'' (Apr.)
