ACL 2009: Todd Snider - "America's Favorite Pasttime"

Todd Snider tells the true story of Dock Ellis of the Pirates who pitched a no-hitter against the Padres while high on LSD during the 1970 season.

"three up three down for three straight innings
in a zero zero tie
as all those batters names come ringing
from a voice out of the sky
hallucinating halloween scenes
each new swing of the bat
his sinker looked like it was falling off a table
but nobody was hallucinating that"
