Richard- interesting link regarding the forged John Henry Williams signatures that REA sold. Which leads to a question: since Ted Williams' son died, what is the status of Ted's body? Is it still cryogenically frozen? I hope that it's not, and that ultimately it was cremated as per his wishes. But I bet there might be a complicated legal issue with it.

Good question Barry, since I have not seen any news about it, and you have not either, I would assume it might still be frozen.

Isn't it just his head that they had frozen?
Just did a quick google search to see if I was imagining things, and turned up this disturbing blurb: http://articles.nydailynews.com/2009...ion-foundation "Workers at an Arizona cryonics facility mutilated the frozen head of baseball legend Ted Williams - even using it for a bizarre batting practice, a new tell-all book claims. In "Frozen," Larry Johnson, a former exec at the Alcor Life Extension Foundation in Scottsdale, Ariz., graphically describes how The Splendid Splinter" was beheaded, his head frozen and repeatedly abused. The book, out Tuesday from Vanguard Press, tells how Williams' corpse became "Alcorian A-1949" at the facility, where bodies are kept suspended in liquid nitrogen in case future generations learn how to revive them."
