Two young boys were friends, lived in the same neighbourhood, went to the same school and were in the same class. They loved baseball.  They played it at school and after school.  They would play sand lot baseball till it got too dark to see.  It got so bad their fathers had trouble getting them to do any work around the house.

They grew up and went to college together, player ball on the school team. After college they married sisters living close together,  still playing ball or going to games together.

When old age over took them they worried about whether there was baseball in heaven so they made an agreement that the first one to die would come back if he could and tell the one still alive if they did.

A few weeks after Joe died Sam woke during the night to find Joe standing at the foot of his bed smiling.  He said, "Sam I have some good news and bad news for you. The good news is there is baseball in heaven but the bad news is that you are pitching this Saturday."
