what happened to yesterday
Dock Ellis, talks to Donnell Alexander and Neille Ilel about pitching a no-hitter on LSD:
We flew into San Diego and I asked the manager could I go home, because we had an off day. And he said, "Yeah."
So I took some LSD at the airport because I knew where it would hit me -- I'd be in my own little area and I'd know where to go. That's how I got to my friend's girlfriend's house.
She said, "What's wrong with you?"
I said, "I'm high as a Georgia pine."
The next day -- or what I thought was the next day -- she told me, "You better get up, you gotta go pitch!"
I said, "Pitch? What are you talking about, I pitch tomorrow." Because I had got up in the middle of the morning and took some more acid.
She grabbed the paper and showed me the sports page. I said, "Oh wow! What happened to yesterday?"
She said, "I don't know but you better get to that airport."
