Red Sox fans: Now you can take them with you
It may cost a pretty penny, but Red Sox fans can now take their favorite team with them to their ultimate destination (Hat Tip: Hot Air).
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.Sorry, but no. I'd rather the Sox stay above ground.
Bob Biggins, co-director of Magoun-Biggins Funeral Home in Rockland, tells The Boston Globe families in mourning often want their loved ones buried with favourite items. In the past that's included Red Sox paraphernalia; the casket takes it to the next step.
Biggins says the family that chose the $3,000 Red Sox casket bearing serial number 0001 did not hesitate in picking it for their father.

Oh, now that is absolutely ridiculous! That's worse than people being buried in their car.
Its also non-kosher. Carl may be a Red Sox fan but a Jew cannot be buried in a metal casket. Period.
That's right. Neither Sox nor socks in a Jewish burial.
OMG!!!!!
Carl, I've got a great merchandising idea: team kittels!
