CHICAGO -- Finally, the perfect answer for a team that has been killing its fans for 100 years: A place to put their remains.

A Chicago man and Bohemian National Cemetery on the city's North Side are joining forces to build for Cubs fans a final resting place that looks a lot like the spot where they saw their dreams of a pennant die year after year.

Called "Beyond the Vines," the 24-foot long ivy-covered wall is designed to look like the one in dead center at Wrigley Field.

It's all on the drawing board now, but the wall is expected to be up and ready to accept fans in October -- just about the time Cubs fans are starting their annual mantra of "Wait till next year."

Near each urn will be a bronze baseball card with a photograph of the deceased fan who, Mascari said, depending on the wishes of the family can be dressed up in a Cubs hat, Cubs jersey or full Cubs uniform. It could also include the dead fan's 'statistics' such as date of birth, date of death, and maybe their favorite Cubs game and favorite Cub.

:wow:

1. How about dressing the deceased in a Cub's uniform...

...before burial, and videotaping him/her trying to "hit" slow pitches thrown by a Cub's pitcher?

You'd have to use pulleys and a fair bit of pancake makeup, of course. And spritz the air. But it's all good. Might want to wedge a hot dog in the corpse's hand for verisimilitude, too.

2. Best of all, it won't need lawn mowers

In keeping with today's green ethic, the lawn will instead be kept close-cropped by a herd of billy goats nibbling on it. :P
