They Did What to Ted Williams’ Head?

Larry Johnson, a former executive at the facility where Ted Williams’ head has been cryogenically frozen, has a tell-all book coming out about various mistreatments of bodies and body parts at Alcor Life Extension Foundation.

↵Examples include this bit about what employees did to Williams’ head, from the NY Daily News:

↵↵Johnson writes that the head was balanced on an empty can of Bumble Bee tuna to keep it from sticking to the bottom of its case.

↵Johnson describes watching as another Alcor employee removed Williams’ head from the freezer with a stick, and tried to dislodge the tuna can by swinging at it with a monkey wrench.

↵The technician, no .406 hitter like the baseball legend, missed the can with several swings of the wrench and smacked Williams’ head directly, spraying “tiny pieces of frozen head” around the room.

↵↵Nice little jab at the technician by the Daily News writer there. Seems like an appropriate time to make a light-hearted joke.
