"Baseball In Heaven" (A golden oldie...)
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."

"Baseball in Hell"
St. Peter and Satan were having an argument
one day about baseball. Satan proposed a
game to be played on neutral grounds
between a select team from the heavenly
host and his own hand-picked boys.
"Very well," said the gatekeeper of Heaven.
"But you realize, I hope, that we've got all the
good players and the best coaches."
"I know, and that's all right," Satan answered.
unperturbed, "We've got all the umpires."
