Thanks for sharing that!
I don't know what's better, the story itself or the fact that it was originally printed in "Lysergic World". I'm going to get a subscription. That'll keep the mailman from making small talk.....
Yeah! That's how we roll in the 'Burgh!
That's pretty darn cool.
That's messed up. I wonder if Barry Bonds has ever played a game while under the influence of a controlled substance.
Mr. Miller, you've come up with a great question, along the lines of "could God make a rock so big that He could not move it?"
Which wins: LSD-inspired pitching or HGH/steroid-fueled batting?
Beth, better living through chemicals, right?
Beckeye, I am impressed. You've given us all George Romero AND a no-hitter on LSD. Who could ask for more?
Anan, thanks for visiting! It's too bad "Lysergic World" was a one shot commemorative edition.
Johnny, just make sure your son knows that LSD is only for PRO ballplayers and will NOT improve the pitching of youngsters.
