Legend on ice.
August 13, 2003 -- Ted Williams was decapitated by surgeons at the cryonics company where his body is suspended in liquid nitrogen, and several samples of his DNA are missing, Sports Illustrated reports.
The article, appearing in the issue that hits newsstands today, is based on internal documents, e-mails, photographs and tape recordings supplied by a former employee of Alcor Life Extension Foundation.

This is so bizarro. Missing DNA--I don't think the family owes them squat.

The head has been shaved, drilled with holes and accidentally cracked 10 times, the magazine said.
Same thing happened to James Carville.

What do they call that execution device in 18th century France??? Ahh yes... the Neuroseparator.
To: Ruth A.
The whole concept is kind of creepy, but if the body is being preserved, too, then what was the point in removing his head?
I thought the Preserved Head option was a gimmick to make the suspension services cheaper...
Even if this were to become fashionable and mainstream, I think I prefer good old-fashioned rotting.

New interpretation to the expression, "do you give head."

"eight DNA samples" missing? Just add a decent pitcher and look for Scottsdale in the LL World Series in about 12 years.

Macabre. Have they checked the Laci Peterson fridge for Ted's DNA?

Maybe someone wanted a Ted Williams Clone. They say that the clone takes on the age of the source though (or at least has the source's remaining lifespan) so cloning someone from a dead person doesn't sound very promising.

"Ted, what do you think you could hit in today's game?"
"Oh, about .320."
"Really? That's all? You hit .344 for your career."
"You've got to remember: I'm 80 years old, frozen, and got my head cut off!"
