doc ellis no hitter on acid
This is one of the best youtube videos i have ever seen for a couple of reasons. First of all, the concept of throwing a no-hitter in professional baseball would be enough to make this interesting but there is more to the story. Doc Ellis was a pretty good pitcher for the pirates in the 1970s. He won 19 games for the pirates when they won the world series in 1971, but he will always be remembered as the pitcher who threw a no hitter in 1970 while high on lsd. This is an interview that doc ellis narrated a few years before his death, recounting the day before and the day of his no hitter. The video is also funny because of the clever illustrations that were added to give some visual pictures.
Oh man. I love this video. the LSD No-No. It was actually on ESPN over the summer.
