COOPERSTOWN, NY - In baseball's long and colorful history, no story is more amazing than the one that occurred at PNC Park in Pittsuburgh on May 12. When homeplate umpire Bob Haas reached over to dust off the plate -- he saw that the plate was really a gravestone -- HIS gravestone!
Stunned, Haas looked up and saw that the batter coming to the plate was -- HIS FATHER, even though his father has been dead for thirty years. The father had an angelic glow about him, and he sported large angel wings. The father guided Haas over to the visitor's dugout, and Haas climbed the two steps down only to discover that he was -- in heaven! Haas was never heard form again, but if you look at homeplate at PNC Park, you will see his gravestone.
