Ted Williams' son (the one who had him frozen) has Leukemia - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

I've known people with this terrible disease, and I'd never wish Leukemia on anyone.

Except this ass-clown. What he did to one of the greatest ballplayers of all time, a combat veteran of two wars, and a true American hero, not to mention his own father, continues to sicken me. Maybe his sister will have his sorry ass frozen after he dies a long, drawn-out, painful death.

Karma... it's a bitch.

Associated Press
INVERNESS, Fla. -- The son of Hall of Famer Ted Williams has been diagnosed with leukemia, according to a newspaper report.

John Henry Williams, 35, told the Citrus County Chronicle on Thursday that he was diagnosed with acute myelogenous leukemia earlier this month at UCLA Medical Center. He told the newspaper that he has already started chemotherapy.

"The whole goal is get the leukemia in remission," Williams said from Los Angeles for a story to be published Friday.

Attempts made by The Associated Press to reach Williams were unsuccessful. Calls placed to the home of John Henry Williams' attorney, Eric Abel, were not immediately returned.

After Ted Williams died July 5, 2002, John Henry Williams was at the center of a controversy surrounding his father's remains. Williams had his father's body taken to an Arizona cryonics lab, setting off a battle with his half-sister, who said her father had wanted to be cremated.

The matter was settled in December, when Bobby Jo Ferrell, Ted Williams' oldest daughter, dropped her objections. A telephone call to Bobby Jo Ferrell's home on Thursday evening was not answered.

John Henry Williams' other sister, Claudia Williams, told the newspaper she is in Los Angeles for tests to determine if she is a match for a possible bone marrow transplant.

"It's not good, not good at all, considering his age," Claudia Williams said.

About 10,500 new cases of acute myelogenous leukemia are diagnosed each year in the United States, with remission occurring in 70-80 percent of those patients.

Ted Williams finished with a .344 career average and was the last major league to bat over .400, when he hit .406 in 1941.

John Henry Williams made an attempt over the past two seasons to follow in his father's footsteps, playing for some low-level minor league and independent baseball teams.

Here's a guy in John Henry Williams that had his father signing items on his deathbed, helping him guide the pen over cheesy memorabilia. He squeezed every red cent out of him, and when he died, figured he'd have him preserved to see if science couldn't find a way to make him more economically viable. John Henry Willimas doesn't appear to really have a job.

Maybe Ted convinced God to take John early - and let Ted give him an ass whipping ahead of schedule.

I was more hoping he'd get a really nasty case of syphillis. I wouldn't wish leukemia on anyone.

But, yes he is a putz.

Revenge is a dish best served cold and covered in Karma.

This guy is a complete and utter asshole, but he doesnt deserve leukemia... Maybe this will make him grow some morals.
