Play ball!
Moe and Joe were lifelong friends who lived and breathed baseball - spring training, the entire season, the playoffs and World Series and even winter ball. Every chance they got, they either played the game or watched it or talked volumes about it. Baseball was the focus of their very lives!
They grew old together, always talking about the sport they loved so much. Well, one day, Joe died suddenly.
After the wake and funeral, Moe was sitting in his living room one night and heard "Moe! Moe! Moe!"
Looking all around him, Moe called out "Who's there?!"
"Psst, Moe, it's me, Joe!"
"Joe? You're supposed to be dead! What are doing?"
"Moe, I'm quite dead but I came here to give you some news - the good and also the bad. Which one do you want to hear first?"
Moe replied, "Give me the good news first!"
Joe spoke softly yet enthusiastically. "Moe, it's absolutely great here in heaven. We do nothing but play baseball. And, all the greats of the game who've gone before us are here playing with us. Cobb. Ruth. Gherig. Wagner. Young. Maranville. They're all here!!! Baseball! 24 -7 Moe. We get to play as many games as we want, every day, and we're young again - just like when we were kids, Moe. Nothing but baseball games. It's absolutely great!"
Moe said "Gee Joe, that's terrific! I'm glad heaven is so wonderful! But tell me now, what's the bad news you were talking about earlier?"
Joe replied tersely "You're pitching in tomorrow's game." [:0]
