ONE (1) SINGLE CARD: Dock Ellis CUSTOM ART CARD with WHITE WOODGRAIN EFFECT Card stock Commemorating his No-Hitter on LSD in California 1974. Pirates (VERY LIMITED PRINT RUN) HTF SP SHORT PRINT ONE-OF-A-KIND COLLECTIBLE Background info: On June 12, 1970, Pirates pitcher Dock Ellis did something that, by all rights, should be completely impossible: He went and threw a no-hitter despite being high as a kite on lysergic acid diethylamide, otherwise known as acid. Facing the Padres at the old San Diego Stadium, Ellis took the mound having dropped acid earlier that day and blanked the Friars, walking eight batters and hitting another (otherwise known as an A.J. Burnett Special). It was the first and only no-hitter of Ellis' career, and almost certainly the lone MLB no-hitter pitched under the influence of LSD.
