In celebration of the greatest athletic achievement by a man on a psychedelic journey, No Mas and artist James Blagden proudly present the animated tale of Dock Ellis' legendary LSD no-hitter. In the past few years we've heard all too much about performance enhancing drugs from greenies to tetrahydrogestrinone, and not enough about performance inhibiting drugs. If our evaluation of the records of athletes like Mark McGwire, Roger Clemens, Marion Jones, and Barry Bonds needs to be revised downwards with an asterisk, we submit that that Dock Ellis record deserves a giant exclamation point. Of the 263 no-hitters ever thrown in the Big Leagues, we can only guess how many were aided by steroids, but we can say without question that only one was ever thrown on acid.

Sadly, the great Dock Ellis died last December at 63. A year before, radio producers Donnell Alexander and Neille Ilel, had recorded an interview with Ellis in which the former Pirate right hander gave a moment by moment account of June 12, 1970, the day he no-hit the San Diego Padres. Alexander and Ilels original four minute piece appeared March 29, 2008 on NPRs Weekend America. When we stumbled across that piece this past June, Blagden and Isenberg were inspired to create a short animated film around the original audio.

  • oooo I just made a touchdown

  • @BarcaFury seriously? I've done LSD 3 times over my entire life. All it does is make me more enlightened and informed about what drugs actually do than you, not a druggie.

  • That's great. I have his autograph from 1970 when I lived in Pittsburgh. Knew nothing about the acid story until years later.

  • I have not seen this in a while. It's the best.

  • @Jilliodeath the type of benzos they had in the 70s were stimulates, i forget what the actual chemical name is but its different than benzodiazepine

  • @RockLobsta23 I'm in my early early 20s and Ive done it about 20 times. I agree with RockLobsta23 all the way, but I am sort of a druggie, but not because of lsd. Maybe because of the way I was raised. Lol jk

  • This is a truly sensational work of art that deserves its own corner in the Louvre Museum.

  • This is amazing

  • Phenomenal video. Just awesome.
