    @ Tim B: I believe Dock Ellis, who pitched for the Pittsburgh Pirates, said that he threw a no-hitter while he was high on LSD. That happened back in the early 1970’s.

    Its a slippery slope with Rose. Did he change his lineups and make choices on pitching based on bets? If he wasted his entire pitching staff to win a bet then he didnt deserve reinstatement. He was going at the foundation of the sport. If its true hundreds tested positive during the steroids era, then Bonds, McGwire should be considered. Every era had drugs. Tony Gwynn once said there was speed pills in one of the jugs of gatorade tubs. Being in San Diego I heard that more than once. All jacked up increases bat speed and focus. I heard someone pitched a no-no on hallucinogenics. Its a great topic!
