Met video depository here. Stuff like... eight seconds of 18-year-old Jon Matlack right after he signed with the Mets, initially pitching to a non-catcher who may or may not be a young Bob Heise.

i read that as "video suppository" (seriously!) and I immediately thought 2 things: - well what will those folks in silicon valley come up with next?, and - I don't care how good that video is, i don't want to see it that bad.

Want more than 10 seconds of action? Sure you do! Well visit this clip of opening day 1972, the first game following the end of a brief baseball strike and the demise of Gil Hodges. [youtube:2mr7lquq]jTghxlBHHVI[/youtube:2mr7lquq]

Dock Ellis was so high that day that he saw everything in grainy, fuzzy black and white.

Ellis is So High on the Diamond (To the tune of “Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds” by Lennon / McCartney) Picture him now on the mound at Three Rivers With two base-runners starting, and threatening skies The umpire calls him, he answers quite slowly He’s the guy with 2 pinwheels for eyes With the sweat soaking through the yellow and black Wiping his brow, he looks in for a sign He stares like a guy with the sun in his eyes He's so gone Ellis is so high on the diamond Ellis is so high on the diamond Ellis is so high on the diamond Aaaahhhhhh..... He stands in the dugout, takes a sip at the fountain He got out of the inning to his great surprise His teammates all grin as he drifts past them, smiling He is so incredibly high Newspaper writers appear at his stall Anxious to drive him away They tear at him, frenzied, blood in the water… He’s gone. Ellis is so high on the diamond Ellis is so high on the diamond Ellis is so high on the diamond Aaaahhhhhh..... Picture the man on a train leaving Pittsburgh With the sealed plastic cups packed in with his ties Suddenly something is there by the turnstile But the drug-sniffing dog lets him by Ellis was so high on the diamond Ellis was so high on the diamond Ellis was so high on the diamond Aaaahhhhhh..... -THE BARD, song parody contest, 2002
