Doc Ellis No Hitter | Pastball Podcast #99

Welcome back to the Pastball Podcast, a podcast that gives you a daily baseball story faster than the amount of time you can run around the bases. And I'm your host, Matt, Doc Ellis's no hitter. It was 1970 Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Doc Ellis threw a no hitter against the San Diego Padres. But what made this fee even more remarkable was the fact that Ellis claimed to have been under the influence of LSD.

Ellis later said that he had mistakenly believed his team had a day off when he took the drug. Despite his altered state, Ellis managed to pitch the entire game without allowing a single hit, a testament to his skill and perhaps the unpredictability of psychedelic substances.
