Urban Legends are everywhere in the world and some of the best ones come from sports. They range from historic, like Babe Ruth calling his shot, to hilarious, like Dikembe Mutombo walking into a bar drunk while he was at Georgetown and shouting "who wants to sex Mutombo?" Every sport fan knows a ton of Urban Legends and everyone has their favorite.
My personal favorite is the LSD No-No. Back in 1970 Pirates pitcher Doc Ellis pitched a no hitter against the San Diego Padres. 14 years later after his career was over Ellis admitted that he was under the influence of LSD throughout the entirety of that game. Now it wasn't the prettiest no hitter. He struck out 6 but walked 8 and needed some great fielding throughout to help him. That said it's still damn impressive and hard to believe even though it came straight from Ellis's mouth and he has no reason to lie. In fact that's something you'd probably want to keep secret. This Urban Legend has the perfect combination of hilarity, impressiveness, and some unbelievability though I personally find it to be true. Here's a video dedicated to the LSD No-No.
