Doc Ellis decided to enjoy his day off by dropping 2 tabs of acid, not uncommon for back in those days. That was until he got the call that he'd be taking the mound to pitch later that day for the Pittsburgh Pirates. Ellis didn't shy away from the challenge and took the mound. In the process he managed to hit a few batters and was only able to see the pitch calls by 3M tape that his catcher wore. Nonetheless Ellis went on to throw a no hitter and pitch one of his best games of his career. In an iconic post-game Interview he said "I was as high as a Georgia pine."
