Summary

In Episode 359 Jeff Belanger and Ray Auger visit Fenway Park in Boston, Massachusetts, to explore the story behind Red Sox legend Ted Williams’s unique afterlife. Though Williams died back in 2002, some members of his family believe that’s just a technicality. Ted’s head and body were separately cryogenically frozen in the hopes of being revived one day when there’s a cure for… death.
