Life after death…Is there really such a thing? Major League Baseball Reaching the “Die-Hards”! Lets face it folks, we’re going to experience this at some point. Now, some will sooner than others, but we’ll eventually over a period of time we’ll all meet up again some day? Unfortunately, (which in this case is a very good thing indeed) as sports fans, we have no clue what lies ahead in the after life. Sure, the lucky ones which will see the pearly white gates may brush shoulders with legends such as Ted Williams, (with his head) Mickey Mantle, Lou Gerig….The list can go on and on. While all sports fans down here all love their various sports teams, when it’s time for us to go, they stay…DAMN IT! Well, finally somebody has recognized this and is about to do something about it…HALLELUJAH! Now we can have the best of both worlds…Well, sort of.
Major League Baseball has taken this to an entirely different level and is currently rewriting the meaning of Rest in Peace by the deceased. In the latest marketing ploy, MLB will be putting team logos on urns and caskets…Yes, that’s correct…Urns & Caskets! Is there any better way to celebrate Grandpa Earl’s life than to slap a Seattle Mariners logo on his urn? Grama Ruthie’s sure did like her St. Louis Cardinals…To honor that let’s slap on the Cardinal’s logo to her casket. Why this sounds like a brilliant idea! What a nice touch, however I have a question. When did The Undertaker & The Grim Reaper sign on as marketing consultants for Bud Selig?
See, I can understand the urn idea…Why that makes perfectly good sense. Everytime the Mariners are on television, somebody can take Grandpa Earl off his mantle for a few hours and put him right in front of the boob tube. Still showing off the Mariner pride life after death. In addition, what a great conversational piece this would make to any home, up on a mantle…Hey, Mickey, reserve yours today bud! I heard they’re making limited production in the Yankees…Both in urns and caskets! Just some inside information. What an ingenious idea…And we thought deciding who was to have home-field advantage in the World Series through the All-Star game was an off the wall idea.
I’m still a little bit confused & perplexed about these logo covered caskets? Normally, we, (us who are living currently) like to show off the team that we root for in a variety of ways. Okay, so having said that…Who’s going to see a logo covered casket six feet under ground? There has to be a catch with this? Does it come with a LCD 40-inch television too? So the deceased can rest comfortably, while enjoying watching Lou Pinnella lose his mind as the Cubs manager?
Since Halloween is coming up pretty quick here, it’s probably too late for die-hard fans of this holiday to reserve theirs commemorating this day. It looks like Major League Baseball might have stumbled upon a whole new market…Why hasn’t all other professional sports leagues reached out to the dead? Should people stop by once in a while to your respective plot to pay respects…Always leave flowers & what not while sporting a Chicago Cubs shirt that the sole six feet under, in a dark, locked, air tight box can’t get to, who always becomes jealous. Well now, thanks to Major League Baseball, that jealously will be no more!
While Bud Selig & MLB have stumbled upon a trendy thing that is sure to catch on, like a UFC Championship bout is sure to break out in the Orange Bowl…Look for the NFL, NBA, NCAA, NHL, & NASCAR to jump on board this bandwagon…Where it stops, six feet under! I can’t wait to see what’s next? Although, I must warn the New Jersey Devils fans…DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK! To Notre Dame fans, university officials are currently in the process of talking with the man upstairs to see if this is indeedpermissable ? LastRowSports.com will get back to readers on that as soon as we get word!
Thanks to Major League Baseball, the tag “Fans for Life” has a whole new meaning!
