Dock Ellis - No No Anniversary
Reply #126 - Jun 12^th, 2011 at 5:59pm

It was 41 years ago today that pitcher Dock Sebastian Ellis of the Pittsburgh Pirates threw a no-hitter against the San Diego Padres while on acid. That's right, you read it right, Ellis threw a major biffing league no-hitter while on LSD. El Es Dee. Lysergic.

One or two no-hitters have been thrown drunk and a handful coked up (Clemens), but no one has ever come close to repeating Ellis' spectacular performance, before or since. It's unlikely anyone has even tried.

So today let's remember Ellis' work with the acid curve. Here, check out this NPR documentary of the event: http://www.dockshort.com/dockshort/ ("High as a Georgia pine.")

And please support his candidacy for Cooperstown and the Baseball Hall of Moof. Ellis has been unfairly kept out of Cooperstown because of the goddam liberal media (Ellis was an outspoken conservative, Nixon fan, member of El Rukn).

From the leftard conservative bashing website known as "wikipedia":

------
As Ellis recounted it:

I can only remember bits and pieces of the game. I was psyched. I had a feeling of euphoria. I was zeroed in on the (catcher's) 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. The ball was small sometimes, the ball was large sometimes, sometimes I saw the catcher, sometimes I didn't. Sometimes I tried to stare the hitter down and throw while I was looking at him. I chewed my gum until it turned to powder. I started having a crazy idea in the fourth inning that Richard Nixon was the home plate umpire, and once I thought I was pitching a baseball to Jimi Hendrix, who to me was holding a guitar and swinging it over the plate. They say I had about three to four fielding chances. I remember diving out of the way of a ball I thought was a line drive. I jumped, but the ball wasn't hit hard and never reached me.[6]

We're working on that. Its a matter of awareness, not geography. He threw a no-hitter on acid, for Christ's sakes. It's impossible not to care, unless you're a Mormon or something. Ellis has been fishsmacked by the liberal media all these years, just like Henry James.

You mock that which you do not understand.

Look at the way he's been treated. Most people don't even know Ellis threw on no-hitter while tripping on LSD. You never hear it reported. MLB refuses to acknowledge the feat. Same with the Guiness Book of World Records. All because of politics.

Kids aren't even taught it in school. I spent 8 years in the Pittsburgh Public School system, and I can't recall ever being told about the LSD no-hitter. Not even mentioned in textbooks. Blackballed. Banned. Censored. Redacted. Purged. Penciled. Abrogated. Disgorged. Sublimated. Subsumed. Repurgicated. Repugnant.

Could it be because we only have this guy's word that he pitched while on acid?

If there's any proof out there, I'd like to hear it. piss off
