Archives A vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away
A new story on the ESPN website (apparently originally from the NY Daily News) gives the sad, twisted details of the presumably-not-actually-final resting place of Ted Williams.

It's unutterably sad to me, to think that even someone as legendarily commanding as Ted Williams can lose control of his own life in his later years.

My thanks, incidentally, to Bruce Markusen for pointing out this story to me. I'll even plug his latest book while I'm at it.

How crazy is John Henry, and why? Let's start with the assumption that having Teddy Ballgame as your dad is -- unusual. Your chances of becoming the Michael Jackson of baseball are improved.

J.H. is still delusional about his hitting ability; he's trying out yet again in some obscure league. He might be thinking of selling Pop's DNA years from now, or injecting himself with the magic gene he missed at birth. He might think he's going to restore the great man to life someday. The son is a fruitcake -- Splendidly Splintered.
