Morning y’all
. . . . . Didja Know?
In 1970, Dock Ellis, pitcher for the Pittsburgh Pirates, played an entire game while high on LSD.
Despite having difficulty feeling the ball or seeing the batter, he threw a 'no-hitter' and his team won.

“I can only remember bits and pieces of the game . . . I started having a crazy idea in the fourth inning that
Richard Nixon was the home plate umpire”




Dock Ellis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The question is how many batters did he hit? Maybe everyone was scared to get close enough to the plate to take a swing?

Somehow, I don't think we'll ever hear about this on Jeopardy.

Funny!
