Acid-Dropping Major League Pitcher Dies
Dock Ellis, who infamously claimed he pitched a no-hitter for Pittsburgh under the influence of LSD and later fiercely spoke out against drug and alcohol addiction, died Friday. He was 63.
His wife, Hjordis, said he died at the USC Medical Center in Los Angeles.
"It's a tremendous loss to the family," she said. "He's been struggling for about a year with the end stages of liver disease."

The article doesn't mention my favorite part of the Dock Ellis no-hitter story, which is that throughout the game, the ball was talking to him and telling him what pitches to throw.
