Although I was shit talking baseball earlier this week, this cartoon has restored my faith… kind of. At the very least, if baseball had more crazed, acid-induced mania going on, it might not be so bad. But I mean… my job would be a whole lot better if I was high on LSD the whole time too.

Actually, I take that back, that’s a horrible idea.

A little back story on this amazing journey. On June 12^th, 1970, Dock Ellis was about to enter the books for pitching a no-hitter in a Major League baseball game. However, as it turns out, Dock was lit up on LSD and amphetamines and somehow managed to pitch the best game of his life. Fuck those herbal muscle enhancement programs, fuck having your friends stick needles in your ass cheeks in the locker room — there’s a new performance enhancer in town and her name is Lucy. Now that’s something you can’t shake a cork-injected bat at.

Anyway, the cartoon is drawn by James Blagden with narration provided by the late Dock Ellis himself and it’s absolutely goddamned hilarious. Acid, man… I’m telling you, it changes your perspective on shit. Even baseball.
