With Leather — The awesomeness is emanating out of No Mas like butter through the pores of an obese child being chased down the street.

Dock Ellis' no-hitter on acid becomes great animated short film
Big League Stew — The next time someone compiles a list of the greatest baseball films ever, the work won't be complete until it includes this 4-1/2 minute animated short by artist James Blagden. It's a moment-by-moment imagining of the time in 1970 when Pittsburgh Pirates right-hander Dock Ellis, so he famously claimed, pitched a no-hitter while tripping on acid. Brought to light by the sports and culture site No Mas, the film is a surreal trip in itself. And no psychedelic drugs are needed to enjoy it to the fullest. It uses audio — which is precious to begin with — of Ellis telling the story himself ...

Mandatory Mustache — This is amazing. No, there are Mets involved, but it's too good not to share. And there is a mustache prominently featured. I'd heard about this game a number of times, but I had never actually heard Ellis talk about it. Some great illustrations add to the experience. ...

While Ellis didn’t play for the Yankees in my lifetime, he did play for them when my dad was my age, so I’ve heard plenty about him and about that era in general. That led me to read up a lot about it. I always thought it was a shame that Dock didn’t win a World Series with ...

Baseball’s Most Famous Acid Trip, Masterfully Retold
Can't Stop The Bleeding — “Of the 263 no-hitters ever thrown in the Big Leagues,” mused the folks at No Mas in an e-mail messages earlier today, “we can only guess how many were aided by steroids, but we can say without question that only one was ever thrown on acid.”  And while the late Dock Ellis’ 1970 no-hitter has been mentioned in this space, chronicled by someone far more skilled, and recalled by artists including but not limited to musician Barbara Manning and painter Jay Kaplan, no one has ever tackled this historic event quite like illustrator ...

Uni Watch Play Date: RPM and JTH Go Curling

Baseball Cartoons, Liga Dominicana, Elijah Dukes
Bugs & Cranks — Just watched the animated short film about Dock Ellis’ no-hitter on acid that Answer Dave Brown posted on Big League Stew yesterday.  It’s fabulous, but the weird thing is I’m not sure that’s even the strangest baseball cartoon I’ve seen this week. Tuesday night I flipped on ESPN Desportes and saw a crazy walkoff finish that gave Los Toros del Este a 5-4 win over Los Tigres del Licey, and put them in sole possession of first place.  So I went looking for video of that on youtube, and found this instead: Shit like that and Sabado Gigantico ...

Dock Ellis: “It was easier to pitch with the LSD, because I was just so used to medicating myself.”
Steady Burn — A team of crack geniuses from the blog No Mas produced an animated short about the no-hitter that Dock Ellis threw while trippin’ on acid. The audio is taken from an interview Ellis conducted with writer Donnell Alexander. 100 H/Tees to my man @AsilentFlute for sending this to me, because it is just so great. One time I covered first base, and I caught the ball and tagged the base all in one motion. I said, “OOH, I just made a touchdown.”

Dock Ellis, LSD, and the No-Hitter
Advanced Fantasy Baseball — This is getting around but its so funny that I want to share it too. It was made by one of the guys at No Mas - a New York Yankees blog. It features former Pittsburgh Pirate pitcher Doc Ellis and the story behind his no-hitter, which he says he did on LSD. He even claims that he could not see the hitters, just the catcher and a general impression of whether the batter was on the left or the right. You want to watch this and definitely check out No Mas. ...

Most points by a rook since ‘68? Pitch a no hitter on acid? Anything can happen on any given day. Or night.
Fear The Beard — Dock Ellis achieved the single greatest athletic feat ever accomplished by a man who admittedly was under the influence of psychedelics. Recently deceased, this version of his tale, animated by the good folks at our NYC-based kindred spirits at No Mas and narrated by Ellis himself, is an instant classic. R.I.P. Dock, R.I.P. Watching it made me wonder if Brandon Jennings was loose off of two tabs of Mellow Yellow. See, Jennings torched the Warriors for the most points by a rookie (55) since Earl “The Pearl” Monroe went off for 56–41 years ago. He was clearly out of his mind. ...

baseballmusings.com — If you would like to see Dock Ellis’s LSD no hitter on the MLB network, you might want to sign the petition here. In case you haven’t seen it, there’s an animated short with Dock describing how he came to throw a no-hitter that day. I particularly like the part about Dave Cash telling Ellis he had a no-no, and all the veterans getting mad at him for doing it. I also understand why MLB doesn’t wish to show this game. The organization is putting out an anti-drug message right now, and showing someone having a great deal of success high may run against that message. Still it would be great to see this game with what we ...

Hilarious Heavy Drug Use Videos of the Day
Not Qualified To Comment — The acid this guy was on must have been pretty strong. Apparently he was tripping on some LSD when he was locked in a closet with a recorder. This video is the nonsensical crap that came out of his mouth (and for some reason an animated lizard acting it out). Enjoy. My favorite is probably Mr. Balloon Hands. Yeah right. Get real. Here is the most important little nugget of wisdom to take away from the video: “It’s like I always say, not my chair, not my problem.” So true. Oh and while we are on the topic of acid and heavy drug use, did you know the story of ...

But then, over time, as other people learned the story and it got told too many times, it just sort of lost its elasticity, like a worn-out pair of boxer shorts. The Dock Ellis-LSD-No Hitter story is kinda like that. Awesome story. Heard it a million times. What else you got? Until today. Actually, until about a week ago.
