As Doc Ellis recounted it:
"I can only remember bits and pieces of the game. I was psyched. I had a feeling of euphoria. I was zeroed in on the (catcher's) glove, but I didn't hit the glove too much. I remember hitting a couple of batters and the bases were loaded two or three times. The ball was small sometimes, the ball was large sometimes, sometimes I saw the catcher, sometimes I didn't. Sometimes I tried to stare the hitter down and throw while I was looking at him. I chewed my gum until it turned to powder. I started having a crazy idea in the fourth inning that Richard Nixon was the home plate umpire, and once I thought I was pitching a baseball to Jimi Hendrix, who to me was holding a guitar and swinging it over the plate. They say I had about three to four fielding chances. I remember diving out of the way of a ball I thought was a line drive. I jumped, but the ball wasn't hit hard and never reached me."[4
I love Dock Ellis's LSD pitch, but I really wish he did that against the Dodgers instead of my San Diego Padres in 1970 :(
To be fair, the Pads have only been in the majors for 1 year at the time.
I tried to call the San Diego Padres for the tape of the game when he pitched his no no and the Pads media office said "they don't have it" which I took it as "too embarrassed to give away."
I called MLB's media library if I can watch the game, even if i'm not displaying it in public, and they said no :(
