Baseball
Heaven
There were two old guys, Abe and Sol,
sitting on a bench in a park feeding
pigeons and talking about baseball.
Just like they did every day.
Abe
turned to Sol and asked, "Do
you think there 's baseball in heaven?
" Soloman thought about it for
a minute and replied, "I dunno,
Abe, but let 's make a deal: If I
die first, I will come back and tell
you -- and if you die first, you come
back and tell me --if there is baseball
in heaven. " They shook on it.
Sadly, a few months later poor Abe
passed on. One day soon afterward,
Sol was sitting there feeding the
pigeons by himself when he heard a
voice whisper, "Sol... Sol....
" Sol responded, "Abe! Is
that you? " "Yes it is Sol,
" whispered the spirit of Abe.
Sol, still amazed, asked, "So,
is there baseball in heaven? "
"Well, " Abe said, "I
got good news and I got bad news.
" "Gimme the good news first,
" said Sol. Abe said, "Well...
there is baseball in heaven. "
Sol said, "That 's great! What
news could be bad enough to ruin that!?
"
Abe sighed and whispered, "You
're pitching on Friday. "
