Pitching on Acid
From the Dalls Observer, how Dock Ellis pitched a no hitter in 1971 while on LSD and Benzedrine: Balls Out
The hardest part was between innings. He was sure his teammates knew something was up. They had all been acting strange since the game began. Solution: Do not look at teammates. Do not look at scoreboard. Must not make eye contact. His spikes--that's what he concentrated on. Pick up tongue depressor, scrape the mud, repeat. Must. Clean. Spikes.
