Two elders, 90 years old men have been friends for the longest. This is ever since they were just kids. Both of them shared the love of baseball, that when one of them was at the brink of death, the other one asked and made a request to the other who is dying. This if he could tell him if baseball is being played in heaven. Then his friend died.
One night the living one heard his name being called by his friend who already died. He can't believe that his friend came back bringing him the answer. The dead friend said to him, I have good and bad news for you, my friend. Okay, give my the good news first, said the living friend. So the friend continued, "In heaven baseball is being played, by the young us, we never get old. We never get tired so we can play this game all over again and again as long as we want" said the visiting dead friend of his. Now his friend was all smiles, happy that there is baseball in heaven. Now what is the bad news? he asked. His dead visiting friend hesitated at first and then gently told him, "you'll be pitching in Tuesday"
This story was told at mass today by the officiating priest :)
