Dock Ellis was not the biggest name in baseball history, but he was a piece of it in 1970 when he fired a no-hitter.
The funny thing is, it was not until 14 years later that we were told what made his no-hitter infamous: he was under the influence of LSD.
He was working for an anti-drug program at the time when he finally admitted it.
Ellis thought he didn't pitch until later in the week, but after taking some LSD with his girlfriend around noon, he picked up a paper and noticed it was his scheduled day to pitch.
He rushed to the field, tripping off the powerful drug.
He would later say he remembers very little about the game.
He focused solely on the catcher's glove, and was pretty wild the entire game.
He had numerous walks and hit batters, but no one could actually hit him.
Teammates had to let him in on the past actions of the hurler.
He had a few fielding chances, but jumped out of the way.
Sometimes he said the ball looked very small, while other times it was big.
LSD is bad for you.
No one needs to be told that, and certainly not someone now who works to teach youth how bad it is.
However, the fact a guy could pitch a no-hitter in a MLB game while on such a powerful drug is truly remarkable.
The feat will always be more infamous than famous, but this is one record that hopefully will never be broken.
I'm not sure if anyone could if they tried.
