This is still the Royals (I know Balboni was 36 but Moustakas passed him, don't think he got to 40 though)?

A lot of folks know a pitcher named Dock Ellis once pitched a no hitter for the Pirates while zonked on LSD (there's a great YouTube cartoon of him being interviewed about it)

Who did he throw it against, and how many walks did he give up?

I know that the opponent was the Padres because I know he was partying in L.A. and had to fly to San Diego but the number of walks would be an educated guess on my part (basically I could make a market on it haha). I might guess correctly but it doesn't seem "right"

I would have been 6 bid at 9. I seemed to recall it was an even number so 8 would've been my educated guess.

Nice work! 8 it is. He also hit a few guys, unsurprisingly. Have you watched that video? It's priceless. A lot has changed in baseball.
