Devoted baseball fans will have the ability to have their cremated ashes placed in urns that sport the logo of their favorite franchise as soon as next season, sources report. Major League Baseball and a leading maker of funeral products are to begin working together to promote a new line of MLB urns, promising to take the seventh-inning stretch into eternity for those interested in the product.

Next season, fans of the New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox, Detroit Tigers, Philadelphia Phillies, Chicago Cubs, and Los Angeles Dodgers, will be able to purchase urns bearing their teams colors and insignia.

A spokesperson for the National Funeral Directors Association, Kurt Soffe, said that the new line of funerary memorabilia was meant to capture "the life and the passions of the person that has passed away."

Other new additions to the urn industry will include Harley Davidson and Betty Boop themed pieces.

"More and more families are wanting to have something that respects the personalities," Soffe said.

At least one funeral home director, David Griffin, expects the urns to be a hot commodity.

"Looking at it as a consumer, I was thinking this is some pretty interesting, unique stuff," Griffin said.

Neither the MLB nor the funeral company have released the expected price tag of the baseball urns.
