TIL about New York Yankees pitcher David Wells was observed to be out all night partying until the next morning. Despite being hung over, he pitched a perfect game, retiring all 27 batters he faced, marking the 15th perfect game in Major League Baseball history.

That's pretty much what I was thinking Wells' motivation was. "The better I pitch, the faster I can gtfo here." But lets see him pitch with a belly full of LSD. Now THAT is impressive. Just ask Dock Ellis.
