" Heaven is where dreams come true ". I can imagine old Ted Williams
-favored by Heaven - awakening from mortal DEATH - finding himself the
KID again at the plate in a dreamy Fenway Park on a hot summer afternoon.
But suddenly everything in the field of dreams Fenway FREEZES.
Ted begins to feel so very, very COLD himself. He can't even swing the
the bat !
Then he has a vivid memory of DYING. His son, John Henry, is
on the phone in the bedroom talking in a very unloving tone with a stranger
about the profits in Ted's DNA and the wonders of cryogenics.
For Ted the heavenly field of dreams instantly disappears and
he finds himself all alone - so very very ALONE - on the planet Pluto.
If only there was crowd of fans around. He would tip his
hat to them !
Ted Williams should be buried with honors as a great baseball
legend. Where have you gone Ted Williams ? And where has common respect
gone ? Honor thy father ?
