The family of Ted Williams is feuding over what should be done with the slugger's remains. His son wants to deep-freeze Williams's corpse for future revival or cloning. But according to his daughter, the Red Sox Hall of Famer wanted to be cremated. What do you think?

I think they should freeze him and put him in a shaft 20,000 feet into the earth, so when aliens come to our planit 5 billion years from now he can be reanimated and play Base Ball forever.

His will should be honored b/c it was written at a time when he could care and think for himself. even if he was brought back- would it be in the condition he was when he died- ie. not healthy at all?

It's a shame what a nut a like John Henry Williams is doing to his father's legacy. He'd be flipping right now if he knew what he's up to. Somebody needs to slap him silly so that he gets his head in place.

I'm in agreement with a lot of comments in here that it would be best for his wishes to be honored, whatever they were, that's a basic part of this yet there's more: the popular Five for Fighting song "Superman" (played at the WTC fire/police benefit in NY) illustrates interesting parts of the saga on hand: Superman by Five For Fighting I can't stand to fly I'm not that naive I'm just out to find The better part of me I'm more than a bird... I'm more than a plane More than some pretty face beside a train It's not easy to be me Wish that I could cry Fall upon my knees Find a way to lie About a home I'll never see It may sound absurd... but don't be nieve Even Heroes have the right to bleed I may be disturbed... but won't you concede Even Heroes have the right to dream It's not easy to be me Up, up and away... away from me It's all right... You can all sleep sound tonight I'm not crazy...or anything... I can't stand to fly I'm not that naive Men weren't meant to ride With clouds between their knees I'm only a man in a silly red sheet Digging for kryptonite on this one way street Only a man in a funny red sheet Looking for special things inside of me It's not easy to be me. Be real people - Ted was hurting also, he had his weakness (kryptonite) - an inability to stay married, be around for his kids - like everybody else. The old tale was old Superman - only the pretty face beside a train - you can all sleep well tonight... The new story is Superman admitting his weakness, (not pushing it under a carpet) and his right to bleed is there. It's bloody - a family feud in the open - Ted's family. My bet is that lots of you out there have issues being ignored you'd rather push under the carpet - I know I do. Maybe this is your wake-up call to deal with them - at least take a few steps towards them. You might consider if you want Ted to be a hero - deal with the whole of it, not just the parts you like.

IT'S NONE OF OUR DAMN BUSINESS!

I feel that unless Ted Williams stated he wanted to be "deep-frozen", that the remains should be cremated or buried. At this stage, can the son be trusted not to have already taken cells, blood etc from the corpse?

ENOUGH, ENOUGH, ENOUGH.....of the life and times of a miserable old bastered.

Everyone knows the kid is crazy.

We can remember his life and legacy, but we shouldn't keep his body around for future science experiments!

Joshua Powers, Boston

I'm not all that against freezing the "Splendid Splinter." I think that if the technology in the future allows us to bring "The Kid" back to life then why the hell not? Imagine it being 2010 and your watching the news, and all of a sudden Ted Williams comes knocking on your front door to share stories about the "old days." You can't call yourself a Red Sox fan if that idea doesn't tickle the back of your neck. Or maybe it's 2014 and we're invading Iran and we need an experienced fighter pilot to lend that experience to our boys "over there." Call Ted, he's been there, done that and got a medal. What about a futuristic bass masters tournament? Unfrozen Ted Williams is a lock to win, and reel in the "big one." Bottom line is that if we can unfreeze Teddy Ballgame and attach some kind of bionic limbs (and I'm thinking this won't be available until at LEAST 2008) to him, maybe the old "Bambino" will be show us that he has a few more "home" runs left in him.
