But as much as one can love baseball, there has to be a limit.
This... has crossed the limit.
Yup, just like choosing your kids' bedroom comforter, there is a casket in every major league logo.
Personally, I think it may be putting a bit too much stock in God's own sports preferences. I mean, if you're a Pirates fan, do you go for the local favorite, even thought they've been an exiled people for 18 years, or do you go for a more "sure thing" and risk offending the local funeral director? You could just as well end up going to eternity in a spiffy looking Cleveland Indians casket with a mustache and horns drawn on you in Sharpie pen.
And what if after you're all sealed up and firmly planted in the ground the team moves to another market, insults your hometown, and leaves your descendants paying taxes through the nose for an abandoned stadium?
Football fans seem to be out of luck... so far the company seems only to have baseball coffins. I guess that's because baseball is the only sport in heaven/Iowa.
Caskets traditionally have various religious symbols on them.
ReplyDeleteSee, here's one reader, for sure.
Yup; the same company also had headstone emblems to put your team on in place of your religious symbol there, too. I guess for some people baseball is a religion.
ReplyDeleteAnd I guess I'm not really one to talk, as I just noticed that on my over-educated-but-still-stupid phone that my Bible App gets more frequent use than the weather app, but less frequent use than MLB-atBat and the *ahem* Dilbert app. But then again, I'm still a fan of my retro "paper" Bible.
And I'm not ordering a Dilbert casket, well, ever.
Thanks for being my reader. :)
I saw this three people-wide headstone (only one "slot" being used at the time) that has a picture of the family farm with the name on the side of the barn. It seems like I'm the only one who finds that strange. After a while I quit mentioning it to people. People worship what they worship.
