You've Waited 100 Years Without a Pennant, How about Eternity?
A short mention about an AP story I just read. Bohemian National Cemetery in the Chicago area has built a 32 foot red brick wall made to eventually resemble centerfield at Wrigley once the ivy starts growing. With a stained-glass scoreboard to serve as "skyboxes" for some 288 potential eternal season ticket holders. There are some original seats and some of the old Wrigley outfield in front taken from the ballpark when they rebuilt the drainage system a year ago.
Here's the LINK if you want to sign up. The grand slam package goes for $4700, cremation is extra.
One more thing...The urns and plaques are already licensed by Major League Baseball, so they are still working it to be getting their "piece of flesh" from those who cheer for the Cubs in the life hereafter.
