Blackness, White America, hella drugs, chewing gum, a Jackie Robinson letter, Muhammad Ali and a whole lot of other good stuff. Plus there is a bunch of great archival video footage of Doc on and off the field.

It's called NO No

Hoops overload right now, I guess.

Thanks though, I'll check for this.

Like the music early on was a little cliche and they had to tow the line between making him this big outspoken baseball deity and showing him for what he really was, a solid player but not always a super solid guy, someone who was learning and making some big mistakes along the way.

Pretty fucked up some of the shit that his wife said, wow, but I can see that combination of drug use and realizing baseball was over for him leading him to crack and hard.

Having seen so much about the no-no (which may or may not have been thrown on acid really, has that urban legend vibe to it) and other such drug-related stuff, that part didn't do much for me. The cartoon narrated by him was much better.

What I really enjoyed were the bits about him as a drug counselor and also the letter from Jackie Robinson.

And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.
