Untrue Fact of the Day - 1/6/2010

If you build a baseball field in the middle of a cornfield in Iowa (or “it”), then indeed, the ghost of Shoeless Joe Jackson (or “he”), along with the ghosts of the other disgraced members of the 1919 Chicago White Sox…and any dead baseball player who wants to play baseball again (except for Ty Cobb apparently)…will come.  And if you don’t want a haunted baseball field in the middle of Iowa (and who would, really?), all you have to do is to convince James Earl Jones to visit (kidnap him if necessary…just pretend your finger is a gun…it’s pretty easy), and he’ll drive the evil baseball spirits back into the cornfields.  James Earl Jones was never heard from again…except as the disembodied voice of Simba’s dad.
