Start Your Week With The Most Insane Athletic Achievement Ever - Doc Ellis Throwing A No Hitter On LSD
Bar none, this is and always will be the most amazing athletic achievement in sports history. You can't really dispute this either. Doc Ellis throwing a no-hitter on LSD seems like something out of a bad movie, but it actually happened. The whole story that Ellis tells about it is nuts too. How he gets his days mixed up, how he takes the LSD at the airport, sleeping through a full day, absolutely unreal stuff. Doc was saying he couldn't even see where the batter was, he just knew which batters box they were in. The whole story is legit hilarious too. He even said his teammates knew he was high, but didn't know what he was on. His box score from this game is remarkable too.
He struck out 6, which is impressive in itself while being on LSD, and walked eight guys. I've watched Orioles pitchers have worse games while sober, Ellis is out here striking out 6 and no-hitting a team while on LSD! Nothing in sports will ever be more impressive than this, it blows my mind every time I think about it.
