Poor Ted Williams. He has become a sideshow act in his post-old age. www.forgotten-ny.com

This is a fantastic site, and I carry a the most tragic of shame for not finding it sooner. I can't believe there are magazines about NYC on the stands when I can simply click here. Rah! Rah! Rah! Cheers, BH

Did ol' Teddy Baseball really become more famous *after* being frozen? Hitting .400 is hard to top.

From newyorkmag.com: "Arch rivals New York Yankees take on the Boston Red Sox this weekend in the hopes of securing the Eastern Regional Championship." Eastern Regional Championship? Huh?

"I always thought death masks were Odd." well, the days, weeks, months and centuries before photography.

If i were a famous sports hero I'd be like "please do not let my children freeze my body and cut off my head so I might live again in the future. I know I might get senile when I get older and agree to this but now that I'm sane I say NO!". Is it karmic that his son died of leukemia shortly after he froze his dad's head? Ted williams. Great Ballplayer. lousy father.

Edwards: "I feel that baseball legend Ted William's decapitation is a horror. To ameliorate this atrocity I'm goint to make several macabre death masks of the man and put them on display with crappy paraphenalia like 'The Ben Affleck 2004 WS Collection', thus turning one of the greatest and most dignified ballplayers of our time into a posthumous sideshow attraction." This is really a disgrace. I'd be shocked if anyone has the balls to show it in Boston.

I always thought death masks were Odd. Many people loose weight after being sick for a long time and when they die, don't look like they did in their life. Who wants to be remembered with a bust of them at their worst?
