Die-Hard Fans
Many baseball fans say that they would die for thier team to win a championship. Now they can go out in style after they pass on.
Starting next year Major League Baseball will start selling caskets and urns donned with team logos for the deceased superfan. The urns will be unveiled Opening Day next year and caskets will be available sometime later in the 2007 season. The caskets and urns will read, "Major League Baseball officially recognizes (person's name) as a lifelong fan of (team)," and have the logo of thier team of choice. As of now the only teams available for this dubious honor are the A's, Mets, Dodgers, Phillies, Yankees, Red Sox, Cardinals, Tigers and Cubs. I imagine many Cubs fans would prefer not to wait and just be buried now.
The company hopes to eventually make all 30 teams available as well as to make similar agreements with NASCAR and the NFL. No news yet on whether I can be buried in a Columbus Crew casket.
Over one thousand, yes that number is correct, inquiries have been made thus far about interest in the containers. You can get information yourself about, dare I say, caksetball (shabam!) on thier website at www.eternalimage.com or call them on thier toll-free number at, this is not a joke, 1-888-6-CASKET. I guess the 2- through 5-CASKET was taken.
It may seem ridiculous, but if the saying is true that God is a Yankees fan then it might not be a bad idea to go out with a little piece of the Bronx carrying you on your way out.
