High and Inside: Dock Ellis & the LSD No-No

A year before the 63-year-old former Pirates pitcher Dock Ellis died in December, radio producers Donnell Alexander and Neille Ilel recorded an interview with Ellis in which he  gave a moment-by-moment account of that day in June, 1970, when he no-hit the San Diego Padres while tripping on acid. The producers' original four-minute piece aired on NPR's "Weekend America" last March. After hearing it, producer Christopher Isenberg and artist James Blagden were inspired to create a short animated film around the original audio. Best thing you'll watch all day.
