Baseball In Heaven

Young Bert and Kent were baseball nuts and played it all the time. They were, of course, quite good at it, since each was in his prime. One day Bert said, "I wonder, friend, if when this life is through, they'll have baseball in heaven there? Oh, I hope that is true! " The chums agreed the first to die would come and tell his friend if baseball would continue there, or would come to an end. One night that old Grim Reaper came and snapped up poor young Kent, and unexpected though it seemed, he was to Glory sent. Before too many weeks had passed, Kent was allowed to come on back to Earth to talk to Bert, who had been feeling glum. "We have baseball up there, " he said. "It seems you got that right, and pal, I have good news for you: you pitch tomorrow night! "
