Ellis collaborated with future United States Poet Laureate Donald Hall on a book, "Dock Ellis in the Country of Baseball", published in 1976. The first edition of the book reported that Ellis had been drinking vodka on the day of his no-hitter. Hall updated the 1989 edition to reveal the LSD use. Singer-songwriter Barbara Manning paid tribute to Ellis and his no-hitter in the psychedelic pop song "Dock Ellis", as did folk singer Todd Snider with "America's Favorite Pastime" on his 2009 album "The Excitement Plan". A 2009 animated short film by James Blagden about the game, "Dock Ellis and the LSD No-No", features narration in Ellis' own voice, taken from a 2008 NPR interview. The no-hitter is featured in the documentary about Ellis' life, "", (2014) directed by Jeffrey Radice.
