With summer upon us, and months of travel opportunities on the horizon, we've put together a guide of the top cities around the world that prove street art is indeed a thing to be celebrated. From Brazil to France to Taiwan, these urban centers play home to works by street art stars like Nunca, Blu and the late P183.
In one of the most memorable games in Major League baseball, Dock Ellisâa pitcher for the Pittsburgh Piratesâthrew a no-hitter while he was tripping on LSD. Ellis was an incredible player, and arguably an even greater personâa powerful voice behind the black rights movement and also becoming an addiction-counsellor later in life.
While ESPN points to some discrepancies in the story, the biggest issue is Ellis memory. Because of his frequent use of drugs and alcohol, Ellis once reportedly said he did not remember much of the 1970 season. Yet, it wasn't until 1984 that he first confirmed to a reporter that he pitched the no-hitter while on acid. More bizarrely, it was 38 years after the no-hitter when Ellis was able to recall with great detail the night of the no-hitter during the NPR interview that was the basis of the video above.
