Doc Ellis & the LSD No No...















Former pitcher Doc Ellis played 11 seasons in the MLB in which he was an All-Star and was part of the 1971 Championship Pittsburgh Pirate team, but was best known for being a bit of a thug. He beaned Reggie Jackson in the face with a pitch during an All Star game, maced a security guard in Cincinnati during an argument and purposely tried to nail every player on the Reds for an entire game before being kicked out. But alas... his legacy remains due to one moment, pitching a no-hitter while on acid. This animation does a good job explaining the situation....
