Two childhood friends, both fanatic baseball fans, are getting old. One day, they make a pact. Whoever dies first, has to appear in the living one's dream and tell him if baseball is a thing in heaven. A few months pass. One of the friends suffers a heart attack and dies immediately. The next night, he appears in the other friends dream. ""I knew you'd show up, pal!"" the live friend exclaims. ""I promised, didn't I?"" the dead friend says. ""Listen, I have good news and bad news."" ""Well, tell me!"" The live friend gestures impatiently. ""The good news is that baseball in heaven is fantastic! All of the greats are tossing balls, batting, and just having an amazing time. I even got to play for an inning!"" ""What about the bad news?"" ""You're pitching next Monday.""
