At least they are honest about it. Unlike that stripper I saw last night. Needed an extra 25 bucks for Gray's Anatomy book. More like Gray's Anatomy the Complete First Season.

Excellent headline, although I believe the "cool" tag is warranted.

Hoover High, alma mater of the two most famous baseball-related Teds.

Subby , here.
If your father had a baseball signed ''To my pal _______ From Babe Ruth.'', would you give it up to make a buck?
Not "Cool". "Crass", perhaps.

He meant the other definition of cool subs, as in:

Wonder if they're going to auction off his "will"?

/Hope they let that scumbag John Henry (and Claudia, after she croaks) "accidentally" thaw

So, um, does cryogenic freezing ACTUALLY prevent the brain from dying?

/I'm gonna guess, uh, no

Ugh. Should have figured it was the daughter who supported the "Ted Williams wanted to be frozen and decapitated, and this oily rag proves it" claim. Some of that stuff should be in the Hall Of Fame, not out to the highest bidder. So, where's the shady proof he wanted to auction this stuff, huh?

/The man deserved better. Beyond being a baseball legend, he served his country in two wars.
//And now he's decapitated and stored in a can.

That $150K-$200K price estimate for the signed Babe Ruth ball is completely ridiculous. Ruth was long retired when he signed it. It has no game significance. They never played together. Plus, the name Babe Ruth was mud in Boston for all of Williams career because of the curse of the Bambino.

// Maybe some Boston wacko just wants to destroy it.
