Dock Ellis walks a batter without ever throwing a pitch to him.

On June 13 1973, At Atlanta Fulton County Stadium, in the 4th inning, Dock Ellis walks a batter without ever throwing a pitch to him. After going 2-0 on the Atlanta left fielder Sonny Jackson, the Pirates right-hander is replaced by Ramon Hernandez, who throws two more balls to Dick Dietz, a pinch-hitter for Jackson, to complete the base-on-balls which is attributed to the Bucs’ starting pitcher. The Pirates were crushed 18-3 by the Braves. Ron Reed goes the full way for the Braves and also drives in 4 runs, along with Darrell Evans, and Frank Tepedino. Tepedino pinch ran for Dietz.
