Weekend Diversion: Dock Ellis' LSD Game

By Marcus Gilmer in Miscellaneous on Nov 14, 2009 9:00PM

As nice as Mark Buehrle's perfect game earlier this year was, it doesn't quite measure up to one of the craziest athletic achievements: pitcher Dock Ellis throwing a no-hitter while tripping on LSD. No Mas and artist James Blagden have animated the story, set to Ellis' own words from a radio interview he did before he died last year. It's amazing.

Thanks to our own Lauri Apple for passing this along.
