"For those not named Nolan Ryan, the no-hitter is a rare and treasured event — consider that a Mets pitcher has never thrown one. "

In 1978, Bevacqua, Ellis and fellow former Pirate Richie Zisk were reunited as teammates in Texas. Bevacqua and Zisk roomed together on the road. Near the end of the season, Ellis dropped a paper bag between them.“That’s for you guys,” Ellis said.Bevacqua was stumped. He opened the bag. Inside was a bundle of cash. Something like $2,700, Bevacqua recalled.“Does he owe you money?” Bevacqua asked Zisk.“No.”“Well, he doesn’t owe me any money.”The duo visited Ellis. What was going on? Ellis was beaming. He was paying his tab, he explained. He had been signing his room-service bills to Bevacqua and Zisk’s room for most of the season. Now they were even.“Dock Ellis was a hell of a guy,” Bevacqua said. “As crazy as he was … you know what? He just did crazy shit. He really wasn’t that crazy.”
“That’s for you guys,” Ellis said.
