    PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- Many crazed baseball fans have said they would die for a championship. But are they willing to take that devotion to the grave?

    Major League Baseball and a company that makes funeral products will soon find out just how many fans want to be decked out for all eternity in tribute to their team.

    Starting 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 have their ashes put in an urn or head six feet under in a casket emblazoned with their team colors and insignia.
    When i decide to leave this place, set aside the Oakland A's casket so when I go Im taking the A's with me.
