I remember in high school paying badminton with a guy who said he was tripping balls.

I conclude that LSD is indeed a performance enhancing drug. He said the trails made it easy to keep track of the birdee (TIL it's actually called a shuttlecock), and that it was like playing in slow motion.

Last name Ellis first name Doc. (Ellis, D = LSD) coincidence?

This is truth, lsd is beneficial for all racket sports

Holy fuck! I've known about this story since I was a kid, but never caught that. Coincidental coincidences are coincidental, but still...

Todd Snider wrote a great song about it:

a low dose of lsd or shrooms will help with anything requiring accurate and fast reflexes. too much will freeze you up though. i used to like it for mixing records back in my rave dj days.

You're onto something here, lol.

You know that David Wells as a Yankee threw his no-hitter drunk. Actually I believe he was wasted about every time he pitched.

He also pitched many games while being fat.

I have a buddy in the majors who is a pitcher. Too bad he comes out of the bullpen or I could try and have him replicate Dock Ellis' success...LOL
