If anyone is looking for a Christmas present for me, I won't be offended if you get me a casket. It's possibly the most morbid gift ever, but as long as it's this officially licensed Boston Red Sox casket, I would get over it.
For a mere $4,499, lifelong members of the Fenway Faithful can forever be laid to rest in a beautiful casket that everyone will chuckle at during the funeral, and then no one will ever see again. I can't think of a better way to spend money during a recession than to buy an MLB licensed casket.
"
The team logo is embroidered on the soft velvet of the lining and pillow, each of which is as white as a home uniform on Opening Day. The logo also appears on the exterior of the casket, which is made of high-gloss 18-gauge steel accented with baseball bat-style wood, tassels, and polished chrome - more Cadillac than bullpen car, headed for the hereafter."
Forget the hundreds of thousands that you spent over the course of your lifetime on season tickets, and the $1500 that you spent to go watch the Sox sweep the Cardinals in 2004. This casket is the pinnacle of Red Sox fandom, and everyone must have one.
But seriously folks, if you're running a little low on cash, or prefer cremation, then don't worry. There are also urns available at the low price of $799.
Yankees urns are also available, and there will be caskets for all of the various teams shortly. But let's be honest. Your chances of making it into Heaven are slim to none if you're buried in a Yankees casket, so don't bother.
