The listing, 1973 Topps (High Number) #575 DOCK ELLIS (Pirates) "The LSD No Hitter" has ended.
Dock pitched 12 MBL seasons, and he made them count. A throwback pitcher, Dock won 96 games in 7 1/2 seasons with the Pirates to start his career, making an All Star game in 197 when he won 19 games, finishing 4th in Cy Young voting that season. His impressive careers stats pale in comparison to his boisterous personality, and Dock's signature moment came on June 12, 1970, when he pitched a no-hitter against the Padres. What made his no-hitter unique was Dock's claim to have been under the influence of psychedelic drugs while pitching that game, ensuring his place as one of baseball's most notorious and colorful characters.
