A new book is saying that the head of Ted Williams has suffered some nasty abuse in the time that its been stored in an Arizona cryonics facility, according to the New York Daily News.

The head had been attached to the Splendid Splinter's body when the 83-year-old's body was delivered to the facility soon after his death, but workers there apparently thought it would be fun to decapitate the last man to hit .400 and take pictures of the process. They then supposedly played games with his head, such as a form of batting practice. The book is called "Frozen" and is written by a former exec at the facility, the Alcor Life Extension Foundation. It's due to come out on Tuesday.

The very few people who chose the frozen-body route after death, one of which is supposedly Walt Disney, were hoping that someday there would be a discovery that could bring them back to life. Obviously, Williams is going to need a few more discoveries than that for his body to ever fully be functioning again.

Just how sick can people be, first to freeze one’s head, then for the “staff” to play baseball with the frozen noggin’

[xcamel]

Very weird story..

[vladimir998]

Abuse, sure, but was it abuse-abuse?

Obviously, Williams is going to need a few more discoveries than that for his body to ever fully be functioning again.

Indeed! He'd probably only hit .325.

Just how sick can people be

Have you met Yankee fans?
Just kidding, folks. No offense intended.

Sounds like he should have quit before he became a head...

The Williams family should have opted for carbonite...

I'm guessing that Ted's family isn't amused, and neither are their attorneys. It all sounds like something that'll turn up in a new episode of Futurama.

They’ll be long dead before the scam is exposed.

Anybody really believe these jokers are going to keep these bodies frozen continuously for decades or centuries?

[Huck]

lol. I know, it’s awful. It’s sick. But that’s a funny headline (no pun intended.) As Bob Grant used to always say, “It’s sick out there and getting sicker!”

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

It's his son, John Henry who bore all responsibility for this travesty. He was a greedy POS who had been trying to cash in on his dad's fame for decades. He claimed Ted wanted to be cryonically frozen.

Preacher was talkin
there’s a sermon he gave
said every man’s conscience
is vile and depraved
you cannot depend on it
to be your guide
when it’s you who must
keep it satisfied

[choctaw man]

Yes. Made the mistake of wearing a Mets hat and Yankee tee shirt to the right field bleechers in Yankee Stadium fours back...got razzed and fingered the entire game...another reason to hate the Yanks (as I do...deeply)

[originalbuckeye]

Didn’t he also try to have TW’s sperm frozen so he could sell it?
