43 years ago Doc Ellis threw a no-hitter fkn cranked out of his wheelhouse on LSD. It's true, and it makes a pretty awesome story with the animations and music haha

for some reason I thought this would be about people recovering from drugs or something. But that looks like a cool story, so threads

A.J. Daulerio tried to recreate it with MLB 2K11 on Xbox when he was working for Deadspin/Gawker. You can read the recap here -- http://deadspin.com/5812384/the-electric-dock-ellis-acid-test-an-attempt-to-recreate-his-drug+addled-no+hitter-on-xbox

I was hoping this thread would be about dock haha. That's a great story indeed. I'd love to watch the footage of that game but the MLB still won't release it. I just saw that there will be a documentary released about Dock and the no hitter this year though and I'll definitely be giving it a watch.

I looked up his stat line for that game and he walked 8 hitters and beaned 1. That's got to be a record for runners on base during a no hitter. What a badass.

I aim to please. I mean, Oil Can Boyd was a stoner who pitched high all the time, but this is totally different and a way better story. The animation and soundtrack don't hurt either haha

Any video game in acid would be interesting to say the least.

Yeah but if you have some good acid and you're wasting it on video games you're already doing it wrong IMO.
