I don't own these but Lordy I wish I did! By the way today is the 50th Anniversary of his no hitter. I wonder what Scott Garner has from that game?

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...

Great stuff Scott...

Pitching a no-no on LSD might even eclipse back-to-back no-hitters (in terms of improbability). Would love to see a Photo of the event, should you ever come across one.

I think I know the answer to your Trivia question, since I lived there for so long... The S.D. Padres, right?

Thanks Mark! You are correct, sir. The Padres have not thrown a no-hitter in 52 years as an organization. Unbelievable!
If you have not ever seen it, Dirk Lammers has a great blog on no-hitters called nonohitters.com. He continually keeps score on how many games have been played in the Padres no no-hitter streak. It's a great blog, BTW.
He also has written a good book on the no-hitter topic.

Great stuff, Dennis! I worked with a Hubbs (Russ) on the Las Vegas FD who was a descendant of Ken.
