Two friends John and Dave were two huge baseball fans. Their entire lives, John and Dave talked baseball. 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 night, John passed away in his sleep after watching the Yankee victory earlier in the evening. He died happy. A few nights later, his buddy Dave awoke to the sound of Johns voice from beyond.



John is that you? Dave asked.



Yes, its me, John replied.



This is unbelievable Dave 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.



Oh, that is wonderful, So what is the bad news?



Youre pitching tomorrow night.
