4. No sir you are incorrect

it was most difintely Doc Ellis and he walked 8 betters that day.

Perhaps the centerpiece of Ellis’ stormy career came with the Pittsburgh Pirates on June 12, 1970, when he threw a no-hitter against the San Diego Padres while under the influence of LSD. "I can only remember bits and pieces of the game," Ellis said later. "I was psyched. I had a feeling of euphoria. I remember hitting a couple of batters and the bases were loaded two or three times." He walked a total of eight batters in what might be described as one of the most bizarre no-hitters ever thrown.

8. YAY now what do I get

I was pretty sure it was him. I admit I researched it to confirm it. I thought it was Odom or Ellis. Ellis also once beamed 3 Ciniciatti Reds in a row at the start of a game. :cry: still bummed at that the Browns got the Steelers good but hey lol Sas probably one of the few things I would disagree with you and DK on hehe and you guys got the ACLS from us legit in 97, no I am not really a redsox fan, I just wear it now, as I hate yankees lol.

9. I think everyone either hates the Yankees or Loves the Yankees

The only time I liked the Yankees is when they played the Braves. The reason why is because the school dickhead was a obsessed Braves fan. It made all of our lives easy. You don't win anything tangible it's just a title you get for the day.
