A Maricopa County Superior Court judge ruled Friday that a Scottsdale cryonics facility must show a document to the nephews of Ted Williams that could prove the baseball great wanted to be cryogenically preserved.
Judge Thomas Dunevant III ordered the Alcor Life Extension Foundation Inc. to present a document of gift to Ted and Sam Williams, nephews of the Boston Red Sox slugger who died two years ago.
The nephews are among family and friends of Williams who have waged a legal battle to have his remains cremated, a request that was in his will.

What a sad saga. I hope Ted finally rests in peace...someday.
$50,000 in court costs might free Ted Williams

Fifty thousand dollars.
That's all that might finally separate Ted Williams from his frozen fate in cryonics chambers.
It doesn't seem like much, yet it could prove too much.
In an exclusive interview with FLORIDA TODAY, the nephew of the Hall of Fame baseball slugger and decorated war veteran said the fight might be over, and just when family members won a major court decision.
"There's no money to go on, so it probably won't go on," said Ted Williams, who was named after his famous uncle. "It's going to cost money to go forward, and my brother and I don't have that kind of money."

That really is depressing. I've always thought he deserved better, and there must be some way to help them get that money
This, coming from a kid who has the head of Ted Williams, frozen in Carbonite, as his avatar!!!
ain't it great?
"I, Ted Williams, give my mentally ill son the power to keep my severed head cryogenically frozen."
Yeah, something doesn't ring true about that.
