THE PITCH
There once were two best friends named Bob
and Earl. They were two of the biggest baseball fans in America. Their entire adult lives
revolved around baseball. Bob and Earl discussed baseball history in the winter, and they
examined every box score during the season. They went to over 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 a Yankee victory earlier in the evening. He died a happy man.
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 there is
baseball in heaven, Earl."
"Oh, that is wonderful! So what
could possibly be the bad news?"
"You're pitching tomorrow night."
