UPDATE: Dock Ellis and the LSD no-no heading to Sundance.

One of our very first posts highlighted a short film produced by New York's own fashion and media bonanza NoMas, which animated short film tells the story of the no-hitter pitched by Dock Ellis in 1970 while he was on LSD. LSD. It's a great piece, and it's been selected for the Sundance Film Festival in the U.S. Documentary Shorts section. It's really one of the better stories in baseball's long and hallowed history, especially in light of the fact that LSD has got to be one of the least-performance-enhancing drugs out there. Bravo.

Morning Marginalia: zombie shoes, clearly.

These are custom Vans designed to look like zombie feet, created by mburk of deviantART. We spend a decent amount of every day (as we fervently hope you are too, for your one sake) running through zombie-apocalypse scenarios in our head. No doubt these shoes would come in handy blending in when society as we know it is cast into ruin by an undead plague. At the very least we'll be appropriately-dressed while running for our lives.
