Workers at an Arizona cryonics facility mutilated the frozen head of baseball legend Ted Williams - even using it for a bizarre batting practice, a new tell-all book claims.
In "Frozen," Larry Johnson, a former exec at the Alcor Life Extension Foundation in Scottsdale, Ariz., graphically describes how The Splendid Splinter" was beheaded, his head frozen and repeatedly abused.
The book, out Tuesday from Vanguard Press, tells how Williams' corpse became "Alcorian A-1949" at the facility, where bodies are kept suspended in liquid nitrogen in case future generations learn how to revive them.
Johnson writes that in July 2002, shortly after the Red Sox slugger died at age 83, technicians with no medical certification gleefully photographed and used crude equipment to decapitate the majors' last .400 hitter.

he obviously wrote the book to get ahead
That's cold.
No wonder he had to be frozen. He couldn't seem to catch a break to get ahead in life.
I wonder what their slugging percentage was.
Truly one of the all-time greats. He's still getting hits even in death.
The workers must be pitchers. They got a great break on that one.
I wonder if he snapped clean in two or if ice shards flew into the outfield.
What would have been cool if they had used John Holm's frozen as the bat.
This story breaking must give the head of Alcor a splitting headache.
He never had the best body but had such a great head for the game that he was able to play long after his peers retired.
Is this a crime? He was already dead, but they kept him from potentially being brought back to life. They committed future-murder in the past!
Sorry, no joke this time.
Jesus Christ have you no respect for the dead his body isn't even completely thawed out yet.
Too bad Ted was such a cool customer. If he was a bit hotter under the collar, he could have avoided this whole mess.
You guys need to chill with the jokes
Whistleblowers don't get that tell-all books are no way to get ahead in the corporate world.
Any worker that apologizes for this will obviously be talkin out of their neck.
I wonder if any other professional ties of Alcor's were severed.
These puns blow.
Ted's Excellent Headventure.
Don't you mean splinters?
Excuse us if we don't have a page full of frozen dead body missing the head jokes on hand.
What is going to suck is when a few years from now they are able to clone you insert your brain in a new body and his is now ruined.
lmao /winner
mind=blown
