You're pitching

Santa and Banta, both obsessed with baseball, never missed their favorite team’s game.

 

They promised, whoever died first, and went to heaven, would come back to earth and tell the other if there was baseball in heaven.

 

One day, Santa died. Banta waited for him to come back. Finally Santa did.

 

He said to Banta. "I have good news and bad news. I'll tell you the good news first. There is baseball in heaven."

 

Banta said, "That’s the best news!"

 

Then Santa said, time for the bad news....”You're pitching tomorrow night."
