For Ted, No FIELD OF DREAMS ?

" 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 ?
