Doc Ellis & the LSD No-No
The legend of Doc Ellis’ LSD induced no-hitter while pitching for the Pittsburgh Pirates comes to hallucinogenic life courtesy of New York’s dopeness dealing No Mas crew. Intensely drawn and animated by James Blagden, the psychedelic short features a moment by moment account from a non-tripping Doc Ellis himself before passing away last December.
More from No Mas:
“Sadly, the great Dock Ellis died last December at 63. A year before, radio producers Donnell Alexander and Neille Ilel, had recorded an interview with Ellis in which the former Pirate right hander gave a moment by moment account of June 12, 1970, the day he no-hit the San Diego Padres. Alexander and Ilels original four minute piece appeared March 29, 2008 on NPRs Weekend America. When we stumbled across that piece this past June, Blagden and Isenberg were inspired to create a short animated film around the original audio.”
