Offseason
- January 17, 1970: John Scott was drafted by the Padres in the 1st round (2nd pick) of the 1970 Major League Baseball draft (January).[1]
Regular season
- June 12, 1970: Dock Ellis of the Pittsburgh Pirates threw a no-hitter against the Padres.[2] The rumour is that Dock Ellis pitched the no-hitter on acid. The way Ellis tells the story, in Donald Hall's book, "In the Country of Baseball", the Pirates were starting a west-coast road trip. After the Pirates landed in San Diego, Ellis visited his hometown of L.A. for a party. Ellis forgot he was slated to pitch the next day. So he started doing acid the night before the game, and around 10 a.m., after catching maybe an hour of sleep, he realized he was in the wrong place.[3]
