LOL....

I remember old Dock well. We used to do some partying together back in the 70's.... but mostly I was a fan of his He was a real good guy. Sickness or LSD ....... it's real easy to get into that "zone".

I played a couple of times on LSD back in the 70's (semi-pro at the time). I was an outfielder. Of course you probably know that LSD and a number of other drugs make your optical nerve fire more often. Obviously this could help a hitter see the spin on the ball ..... but it is also dangerous (watching a curve ball lefty/lefty or righty/righty could be dangerous if you were too overtaken by the trajectory)-- ugh.

Playing out in the outfield was really no fun at all on acid --- too much going on in the head. I stopped doing it pretty quickly. But, it was an experience.

lol
