Dock Ellis pitches a No Hitter on LSD

dock ellis no hitterThough the video is some years old, this has become topical for a new documentary on Doc Ellis, NO NO: A Dockumentary.  The whole story goes beyond pitching a no-hitter from planet LSD into Dock Ellis being the loudest voice in sports concerning race relations since Jackie Robertson.

But without the LSD there would be no documentary. I am amazed that he only beaned a couple batters but even more amazed he could hold on to the project at hand. Lucky for him a bee didn’t fly by, he noticed a dandelion in the grass, or God forbid someone said something funny… And catching the ball thrown back by the catcher without putting his arms over his head and ducking.
