Dock ___, pitcher who claimed to have thrown a no-hitter on LSD in 1970 (5)

I believe the answer is:

ellis

(Other definitions for ellis that I've seen before include "island close to New York" , "- Peters, wrote Brother Cadfael books" , "- - Peters (novelist)" , "American island" , "- Island, former reception point for US immigrants" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
