...Ellis' rich retelling of the story. The middling hurler - whose career record stands at 138-119 - claims he dropped acid not knowing it was a game day, and took the hill despite being "high as a Georgia pine." He tells viewers about imagining Jimi Hendrix in the batter's box, Richard Nixon calling balls and strikes and coping with a ball that constantly shifted in size. But despite these drug-induced hallucinations (and eight walks), Ellis stifled the Padres, striking out six. It may not be an achievement Major League Baseball is eager to commemorate, but Ellis would likely find...
...replay of a pitch makes no difference to the umpire calling that pitch. This also changed with TV coverage of baseball games with “strike zones” where simulated grids of the batter’s strike zone were placed next to the image of the batter on the screen in order to diagnose whether or not called strikes and balls were accurate to the computer model.

"You're pretty hard-pressed to find anything healthy," the woman added. But she gamely tried to steer me to a few hidden outposts of relatively nutritious fare. And they do exist.
