Ellis, D.
Despite taking the Pirates to a national championship, Doc Ellis will always be remembered for pitching a no-hitter against the San Diego Padres on June 12, 1970. Why is this no-hitter different from all others? Well, it might be the only no-no pitched under the effects of a performance inhibiting drug.
No Mas and artist James Blagden presents the animated story of Doc Ellis & The LSD No-No.
Wonderfully quirky animation of the story of Dock Ellis’s no-hitter thrown while on LSD, using Ellis’s own radio narration and some Stax Records goodness as the audio.
And it doesn’t even include the best part of the story, as quoted on Wikipedia:
I started having a crazy idea in the fourth inning that Richard Nixon was the home plate umpire, and once I thought I was pitching a baseball to Jimi Hendrix, who to me was holding a guitar and swinging it over the plate.
