Internet Meme of the Week: Dock Ellis and the LSD No-No

Psychedelic drugs have been known to do great things, kids. Countless acclaimed novels, songs and other artistic masterpieces were created under the influence of psychedelic substances from psilocybin mushrooms, to opium, to LSD. Lesser known, however, is psychedelics' capacity for enhancing athletic performance. Just ask former Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Dock Ellis, who will forever be distinguished in the annals of baseball history for reportedly pitching a no-hitter under the influence of LSD. His story can be found in the popular Youtube video "No Mas Presents: Dock Ellis & The LSD No-No by James Blagden." Ellis' own narration is dubbed over "colorful" animation of the event. Both funny and clever, the video is a truly mind-blowing experience that I highly recommend to both professional baseball players and pedestrians such as myself. Whether you're feeling tied down by Major League Baseball's new drug testing policy or just looking to be entertained, this new video is sure to blow your mind.
