Here’s a hysterical animation about Major League Baseball player Dock Ellis and his infamous 1970 no-hitter game against the San Diego Padres while under the influence of LSD.

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 weve 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.

I once made Love to a woman for 8 hours straight.
We were both on LSD at the time. LSD, despite horror stories, can be a life enhancing experience.
Although I wouldn’t recommend it to everyone.

I’m pretty sure the greatest achievement by a tripping individual would be the discovery of the double helix DNA strand. It was world changing, while a no hitter is merely fuckin awesome. Really, really fuckin awesome.
