For Die-Hard Fans, A Red Sox Casket

[Forkboy]

Coffin Features Team Logo Inside And Out

ROCKLAND, Mass. -- Lifelong Red Sox fans can now take their love of the team to the next level -- eternity.

A Massachusetts funeral home recently took delivery of the first Red Sox casket, which features the team logo on the exterior as well as the inside.

The casket is manufactured by Eternal Image of Michigan, which has a licensing agreement with Major League Baseball.

Bob Biggins, co-director of Magoun-Biggins Funeral Home in Rockland, told the Boston Globe that families in mourning often want their loved ones buried with favorite items, which in the past has included Red Sox paraphernalia. The casket takes it to the next step.

Biggins said the family that chose the $3,000 Red Sox casket for their father, serial number 0001, did not hesitate when they saw it.

1. Can I buy one for Theo Epstein?

And put Manny Ramirez' number on it?

2. I don't see why. Boston is thrilled to be rid of him.

But it's your money. ;)

3. I hope it comes with built-in radio to listen to games

4. Imagine how fucked the dearly departed would be if their

favorite team moved.

5. The real question is, will the Yankees think it's a curse and dig it up?

14. No Curt Schilling? COME ON!

[joeybee12]

15. Yeah, maybe I should...

...his career is over so I don't have to worry about him going to another team. Maybe he'll let me have his bloody sock that I can put on instead of merely a jersey!

[cboy4]

16. Maybe he'll let you have his Bush/Cheney button to pin to it

as well.
