Possibly the only sports post you’ll ever see here. Why? because it involves LSD. An awesome animation we spotted on Boing Boing. For the baseball noobs – a no hitter is a very good thing (and a touchdown is from soccer or murderball or something) Watch it full screen if you can.
Dock Ellis was a baseball player who in 1970 pitched a no-hitter for the Pittsburgh Pirates while tripping balls on LSD. Ellis died last year. In his honor, James Blagden and Chris Isenberg animated Ellis’s retelling of his acid adventure on the mound. “Dock Ellis’s Legendary LSD No-Hitter animation” (Dangerous Minds)
