Hall of Famer Ted Williams' body lies frozen in a cryogenics lab, and the Splendid Splinter is the subject of a custody battle, as Williams' family fights for possession of his remains and final resting place. Williams' daughter has tried to enlist help from people such as John Glenn and Johnny Pesky in order to stop her brother and sister from keeping Williams'' body inside the cryogenics lab.
Would Ted have wanted to be frozen? Most former Red Sox teamates seem not to think so. Longtime friend Johnny Pesky is quoted as saying, "When his son John Henry brought up cryogenics, Ted almost laughed him out of the room." Whether or not Ted changed his mind remains to be seen; however, with the tattered revised will, written on a piece of scrap paper with a messy signature, it sure seems like "The Kid" got duped by his own family.
