hard core baseball freaks.....i need your help please......

does anyone know where i can get a video (preferably in dvd format) of the 1971 doc ellis no-hitter?

i have always wanted to be able to watch the game where ellis pitched a no-no while tripping on acid.

it is kind of sad that MLB never came close to filming/documenting its history, heroes and special moments to the extent that the NFL does (no matter what happened in the NFL the last 50 years, NFL films has a clip of it)

also, if you're a hardcore pirates fan, maybe you know a fansite/message board somewhere that may have it

been a cub fan all my life.


never got to see the '71 no-no where doc ellis pitched while tripping on acid. i've read a lot about it and i bet it would be a trip to watch.

outside of that, i guess try contacting MLB or the team directly

apparently a tape does exist somewhere according to this link:

"One day last month, Ellis walked into the Victor Valley penitentiary, where, for the past two years, he's worked as a drug counselor. He said he had a surprise for his class. HBO Sports was doing a piece on him, and they'd dug up an old black-and-white videotape of that June 1970 game against the Pirates. To that point, Ellis swore that no tape of the game existed, and he'd never seen himself pitch high on LSD. And this would be the first time he was watching it. As the game enters the ninth, it gets to two outs, three balls and two strikes, and then the tape cuts straight to a postgame interview. "
