Originally Posted By StillThePassHolder "maybe they were the ones with the Floyd still playing....." LOL. Quite possibly. Veeck's usually reliable radar failed him that time, that's for sure. Didn't he sell not too long after that season or so?

He had a volkswagen right out of easy rider and we took off for the 100 mile ride or so to Provincetown for the weekend of 7/4/70. On the way down he took out some pills that looked like colored aspirin and said he and his friends made them at Stanford. Being in a great mood, I tried one as did he. I said I don't feel anything as before long we were in Ptown. Getting out of the vwbus, I almost fell down and we spent the next 3 days in lala land. It was homemade mescaline. lss 3 years later I got a call from a holiday inn in Brockton Mass and it was Steve Goss, my friend from Stanford. I went to visit him there with my future wife and we chatted about the usual weird 60's/70's stuff. He wanted us to stay but I had started my 6 year drinking binge so I was more interested in my wife. A few months later, his father contacted me and said that Steve had committed suicide. To this day I feel guilty that I couldn't have done something to help him and when I get the suicidal calls at the office, about once a year or so (one last month) I do what I can do remembering how I left Steve that day in 1970. Moral of story is drugs ARE dangerous and unpredictable.
