Dock Ellis And The LSD No-No

The enduring history of baseball is filled with accomplishments that strain credulity, and force us to rethink the limits of human potential. Whether it's Babe Ruth calling his shot in the 1932 World Series vs the Cubs, or Reggie Jackson hitting three homeruns on three swings in the 1977 World Series, or Nolan Ryan tossing no-hitters in his 40's. But on June 12th, 1970, Pirates pitcher Dock Ellis, does the impossible when he throws a no-hitter, while under the influence of LSD. For those of you who have taken acid before, please explain to the people around you, who have never done it, how hard that is to do. This week we take a long strange trip, and do a deep dive into this amazing story. #DockEllis #PittsburghPirates #WillieStargell #RobertoClemente #MannySanguillen #DaveCash #SanDiegoPadres #SteveHuntz #NateColbert #JackMurphyStadium #LSD #AlFerrara
