PHILADELPHIA - Baseball fanatics won't have to leave behind their beloved teams when they finally go to that big stadium in the sky. Instead, they'll soon be able to rest in peace inside a coffin with team colors and insignia.

Major League Baseball has a marketing deal with a company called Eternal Image. It'll put team logos on caskets and urns. The effort begins next season with the Yankees, Red Sox, Tigers, Phillies, Cubs and Dodgers. It could eventually include all 30 teams.

Um...yeah...

Believe it or not they started making these with college logos a couple of years ago.

yeah, i read about it a few months ago. it's an awesome idea. i'm definitely gonna do that for my dad when he dies, if i can't get his ashes scattered on the field at pac bell.

i have no idea why this made headlines. i guess baseball is the last sport to do coffins.


but i'll never be let down by the mets
