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."
