Ten ILX points to the first person who can tell me the name of the major league pitcher who pitched a no-hitter on acid...

I think he was on the Mariners, and it was the early 70's...

(This is a new category, by the way... speed-googlers scoring big ILX points.)

Search the Barbara Manning song "Doc Ellis". His entry in the MLB yearbook was "Ellis, D." = LSD.

can exchange these "ILX points" for drugs?

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 20:57 (nineteen years ago) link

ILX points are better than drugs. Hugs not drugs.

― Fritz Wollner (Fritz), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 20:58 (nineteen years ago) link

how about sex and/or cash?

― hstencil (hstencil), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 20:59 (nineteen years ago) link

I think the Spaceman had a different drug of choice

I read somewhere that he described it as a string from his pitching hand to the strike zone. Anyway he moved his hand, the string would follow.

I've had some trippy ramp skating experiences like that...

there's been a few dock ellis subthreads on ILE:

no-hitters (the baseball type): s/d c/d
Classic baseball pictures thread

and a couple others if you want to search them out.

That pictures thread makes me feel like I'm watching an old SI tape. Or one of those rain delay broadcasts of THIS WEEK IN BASEBALL.

The whole amazing tale, from the old thread...

God, my palm are sweaty and my stomach is churning from reading that story... I think I might have pitched a major league game on acid as well. I can't remember.
