Baseball Team To Give Away Free Funeral

Grand Prairie AirHogs Encourage Fans To Wear Black

The Grand Prairie AirHogs baseball team is trying to find ways to gain fans -- both now and for eternity.

At a June 3 game the AirHogs, an American Association of Independent Professional Baseball franchise located in Texas, will host "All Hogs Go To Heaven" night, where one fan will win a funeral, complete with a casket, headstone, services and a plot.

The team is encouraging fans to wear black to the game.

The AirHogs will also hold funeral-related contests during the game, including pallbearer races and MadLibs eulogy deliveries.

Included on the team's list of other game promotions is "Jessica Simpson Night," when the Texas team will try to show that not all Dallas Cowboys fans are upset at her after the singer's presence at a game last season distracted quarterback Tony Romo.
