It's All About Promotion:

Major League Baseball should be so creative. Spiderman on the bases? Bah. You ain't seen nothing yet.

CUBS FREE FUNERAL PROMOTION COMES FULL CIRCLE
The Daytona Cubs Professional Baseball Team has announced a 2004 Funeral Promotion sponsored by Pinello Funeral Home of Daytona Beach. The promotion gained national attention in 2003 as it won the ESPN Veeckie Award for Best Promotion of the Year, when it was promoted in Hagerstown, Maryland.

Willing participants are asked to submit a two-page, typed essay describing their ideal funeral. Essays can be submitted to the Daytona Cubs Front Office or to Pinello Funeral Home at 1036 Derbyshire Road, Daytona Beach, FL 32117, attention: Funeral Give-Away.

The winner will receive a casket, funeral service and viewing with a traditional service or cremation.

THAT will get the kids in the park.
