To die for? MLB fans can take team devotion to grave
Associated Press

"With a new venture that will put Major League Baseball team logos on urns and caskets, the league and a company that makes funeral products will find out just how many fans want to be decked out in their team colors and logos for eternity."

"It's officially licensed. We've got the hologram sticker to prove it."

"When they told us dad was in a counterfeit urn we were devastated. We've since transferred him to an officially licensed urn. On Sundays we take him down from the mantel and watch the game with him."

The MLB urn, although creepy is somewhat understandable. The MLB casket is mind boggling. No one is going to see it, save alien anthropologists who are going to have no idea why giant Cardinals or Indian caricatures were emblazoned on the caskets of man's dead. A more cost effective strategy would be to drape a team flag or blanket over the casket.



That being said, please pack enough Fenway Franks in my casket to carry me across the river Styx.
