Two Old Baseball Players

Back to stories two
Two old baseball players are sitting on the front porch of an “Old Baseball Players Home” just a rocking away. They are sitting there talking with each other about the good old days, when Harry says to Fred, “Fred, I wonder if there's baseball in heaven”?

Puzzled, Fred said, “I don't know if there's baseball in heaven. Let's make a pact. First one of us to die goes to heaven, then he comes back and tells the other one if there's baseball in heaven.”

Harry says, “you know, Fred, that's a good idea. Let's make a pact to do just that.”

So they shake hands on it.

We'll don't you know a month or so later Harry dies.

Fred is sitting around missing his buddy, Harry, wondering if there's baseball in heaven, when all of a sudden, POOF, there’s Harry standing in front of Fred! Harry says, “hey Fred, dying wasn't so bad after all I'm in heaven”.

Fred says to Harry, “Buddy, I am glad you are safe and in heaven, but what about our pact? Is there baseball in heaven?“

Harry says, “Well Fred, there's good news and there’s bad news.”

Fred says, “Give me the good news first”.

Harry says, “There's definitely baseball in heaven”, grinning from ear to ear!

Fred says, “Harry that's incredibly good news! Man will be able to play baseball in heaven!” What could possibly the bad news?“

Harry says, “Fred you're pitching Saturday!”
