Not in MLB. During his career, Ellis was known for his good control and his use of hallucinogens. He hit 7 or more batters in only two seasons (10 in 1970 and 7 in 1974) and ended his career with 44 hit batters and 674 walks in 2127 innings pitched.
There was a game against the Cincinnati Reds in 1974 where Ellis plunked the first three batters in the first inning (Pete Rose, Joe Morgan, Dan Driessan), walked Tony Perez who was quick enough to get out of the way, and threw two pitches high and tight to Johnny Bench before getting yanked. The story goes that Ellis believed the Pirates had lost their aggressiveness and were easily initmidated so he went out to the mound that day to prove a point.
