File this under things that make you go, “wat”.
Holy god, Babe Ruth’s frozen head is pleased. I don’t know if anyone here loves baseball, but it’s been a running joke on Futurama for years about celebrities having their heads frozen. All started by one of baseball’s legendary figures, Ted Williams.
But according to a new book, his frozen head wasn’t given the best of treatment. In the name of science, Ted Williams had his head severed and frozen, in order to possibly revive it in the future. In the name of science, what have we done?
Apparently the employees didn’t treat Ted Williams’ head very well. And this goes beyond taunting a dead guy’s head. Allegedly, they used it for batting practice, and hit it with monkey wrenches, then made a bunch of Austin Powers-like puns. No word whether they forced the mouth open and made sweet love to the it, but jesus christ, if you’re hitting the frozen head of a dead guy with wrenches, I’d say pretty much anything is up in the air.
Ted’s body was frozen by a company called Alcor, where his son sent his body, at age 83, in the hope that future generations would be able to revive a crotchety, old baseball player, to ogle their women and annoy Yankee fans.
