Hi Mike,
Those Dock Ellis hair curlers are awesome!

I somehow forgot about Dock's LSD no-hitter anniversary.
Thanks for the reminder.
Here are a few fun items to share related to Dock Ellis's no-hitter on 6/12/69 @ SD Padres:

A ticket stub from Dock's no-hit game. Only one of three that I am aware in the hobby. At one time I owned the adjoining seat ticket and I found them separated by 15-20 years of collecting. Crazy! Ellis signed the back of the ticket for me at the MAB Pitcher Perfect show in NJ in 2006. I had a nice chat with Dock. A great memory... RIP Dock Ellis

A 1971 snapshot of Dock in the dugout.

A recap of the game that I picked up somewhere along the way.

Finally, a poster of the Dock Ellis LSD no-hitter that I just purchased tonight!


I'm still waiting to find a nice Type I photo of the Dock Ellis no-hitter.

By the way, TRIVIA TIME:
What is the only MLB team to NEVER throw a no-hitter?
Hint: There is only one and they are still an organization...
