Ted Williams' son dies

(Undated) -- John Henry Williams, the son of Hall of Famer Ted Williams passed away Sunday mourning, losing his battle with cancer. The 35 year old underwent several weeks of chemotherapy, but his condition did not improve and a bone marrow transplant was unsuccessful. Williams had attempted a professional baseball career in the summer of 2002 with a lower level Red Sox minor league team. His fledgling career lasted just two games due to injury.

John Henry Williams was the child that wanted to have Ted Williams frozen. I wonder what will happen to that case now.

Adult onset leukemia is really nasty, and I don't think there's usually much of a chance. I wonder if his Daddy said anything to him about the frozen head as he walked through the pearly gates.

I'm guessing not the Splinter's daughter though.

You're probably right.
