Baseball in Heaven
Two buddies Bob and Earl were two of the biggest baseball fans in
America.
Their entire adult lives, Bob and Earl discussed baseball history in
the winter, and they pored over every box score during the season.
They went to 60 games a year. They even agreed that whoever died first
would try to come back and tell the other if there was baseball in
heaven.
One summer night, Bob passed away in his sleep after watching the
Yankee victory earlier in the evening. He died happy. A few nights
later, his buddy Earl awoke to the sound of Bob's voice from beyond.
"Bob is that you?" Earl asked.
"Of course it me," Bob replied.
"This is unbelievable!" Earl exclaimed. "So tell me, is there baseball
in heaven?"
"Well I have some good news and some bad news for you. Which do you
want to hear first?"
"Tell me the good news first."
"Well, the good news is that yes there is baseball in heaven, Earl."
"Oh, that is wonderful! So what could possibly be the bad news?"
"You're pitching tomorrow night."
