Dock Ellis and the LSD No-hitter
Comments(0)
As a big sports fan, I found myself surprised that I had never heard about this before. Until I saw the video below I had never heard about any claims of a pitcher throwing a no-hitter while being on LSD. It must be true too because Snopes.com even claims it is true.
While the story itself is amazing at the outset, Snopes does claim it as true with a little bit of a skeptical eye. Saying that the game was probably too late in the day for it to be at the height of his LSD high, but even so…the dude said he was on LSD that day, and that stuff doesn’t just “wear off”. AT least he figured out he had to pitch that day instead of thinking he had to make a Newark job search, or something.
The video below was made based on an interview that Dock Ellis gave before he died in which he talked about pitching the no-hitter on LSD. It is rather comical.
OH OH I made a Touchdown!
