HIS NO-HITTER on LSD:
Dock Ellis threw a no-hitter against the San Diego Padres on June 12, 1970,
supposedly while under the influence of LSD.
“I was psyched. I had a feeling of euphoria. I was zeroed in on the glove but I didn't hit the glove too much. I remember hitting a couple of batters and the bases were loaded two or three times.”
He walked 8 batters and hit 1 other, during the game.
Final score: Pirates 2 – Padres 0
