Baseball pitcher David Wells threw a perfect game for the NY Yankees in 1998. His secret? According to his soon to be released autobiography, he was half drunk at the time. He attended a Saturday Night Live cast party the previous night, and it went on into the early hours of the morning. Says Wells in his book, "As of this writing, 15 men in the history of organized baseball have ever thrown a perfect game. Only one of those men did it half-drunk, with bloodshot eyes, monster breath and a raging, skull-rattling hangover. That would be me."
Wells still has nothing on Dock Ellis, pitcher for the Pittsburgh Pirates, who threw a no-hitter in 1970... while on LSD.
