Stop me if you've heard this one before. Guy dies and goes to heaven. He comes back to visit an old friend still of this world. Friend asks, "What's heaven like?" The spirit says, "Man. It's great. We play baseball all the time." He's asked by his here and now friend, "Is there a downside?" The spirit responds, "Yeah. You're pitchin' tomorrow."
I had a professor who told an anecdote once about a student coming up to him asking if he could make up an exam that he had missed, and this particular student was on the baseball team. The professor asked, "Were you sick? Were you traveling for a game?" and the student said "No, I just got lost on the way to the testing center, my teammate gave me directions to the place but they weren't very clear."
So professor asks, "what position is your teammate?" to which he replies "catcher". Then the professor asked him, "Do you pitch?" and the student said "No, I'm a centerfielder", so the professor let him make up the exam and laughed.
I thought it was kind funny, I always wondered if it was a true story or just a joke he had heard.
