Can't believe what I read!!

Report: Book says Ted Williams' head mistreated

The New York Daily News is reporting that Red Sox Hall of Famer Ted Williams' severed head was mistreated at an Arizona cryonics facility, according to details from a new book.

In "Frozen," Larry Johnson, a former executive at the Alcor Life Extension Foundation in Scottsdale, Ariz., writes that Williams' head, which had been severed and frozen for storage, was abused at the facility. Johnson claims a technician took baseball-like swings at Williams' frozen head with a monkey wrench.

Williams, the last player to hit over .400 in a season, died in 2002 at age 83 and had his remains sent to Alcor for cryogenic storage in the hope that future generations would develop the technology to revive him.

yikes
 

That makes me want to puke.

If technology was ever developed in the future to revive him, wouldn't he be revived as an 83 year old man? I think that they will also have to wait till they find the fountain of youth.

An 83 year-old head without a body.

Like in Futurama. :D


Maybe it's a DNA thing. Make a clone or something. :confused:

DNA Thing?
 

Ted's own son had a lot of his DNA but still could not play ball worth a s...

That technician needs to have someone take some swings at HIS head with a Louisville Slugger.
I'm with leon, I almost got sick when I read that.

Why not just make him bob for apples in the liquid NO2?

I guess he will now be known as "The Spendid Splinter"
Sorry...I coldn't resist. :p

This isn't surprising. Probably came out of reporting by the NY Times back in in '03:
