Mark,
I wouldn't really call it a most incredible feat,more like an incredible lucky day.
Actually,I would have agreed with you wholeheartily that it just couldn't be true,except for the fact that Dock was a pitcher.The real "trick" about controlling acid is keeping your focus,and that's exactly what pitchers are trained to do.When a pitcher goes back into the dugout,he usually sits by himself.His team-mates don't talk to him.He tries to keep his total focus on the game.Again,with acid if your mind starts to wander you have to bring it back.You can come out of bad trips by just refocusing unto something else.EXPERIENCE MATTERS!Music is a great refocusing tool.The Grateful Dead have a line in the song "Franklins Tower",(If you get confused listen to the music play).If you ask any real DeadHead,they will tell you this line has saved them from the abyss many times.Keith
