June 12th 1970, Dock Ellis, pitcher for the Pittsburg Pirates throws a no hitter, full shut out game.... on a head full of LSD... during the National League Playoffs.

Brenna has always loved this story and has always wanted to get a hold of a Dock Ellis Baseball Card. She doesn't collect baseball cards or any cards of any kind. So of course when she said that in a random conversation days before Valentine's Day....

... I ordered one.

The card is worth about $30 got it for around $9.

Fun story
