I Just Had an Idea

The information below is from the website of a company called Celestis http://www.memorialspaceflights.com/default.asp
(This is the company that just launched Scotty from Star Trek into space)

The company charges $495.00 to put 1 gram of your loved ones ashes into a little capsule and then launch it into space for a couple of minutes and then it floats back to earth and then returned to the family for a keepsake.

Earth-Return Service

• Our Earth-Return service affordably launches a symbolic portion of cremated remains to space, and after experiencing the zero gravity environment, returns the individual flight capsules and modules back to Earth
• After a successful flight, the Earth-Return payload, including flown flight capsules and modules, is recovered, validated as having reached space, and the capsule or module is returned to the family or loved one as a keepsake
• Standard Price $495
• In the event that the Celestis Earth Orbit Service spacecraft does not achieve orbit, we will — at no additional cost — place a second sample of the cremated remains aboard our next scheduled mission.
  
  

Here’s My Idea
So I was thinking about all the people who love baseball and came up with this idea.

I will call this service Final Inning®

• Family can select their deceased loved ones favorite baseball Picher and batter to participate.
• A sports drink (of your choice) and 1 gram of ashes of your loved one will be injected into the center of a major League baseball.
• The pitcher will pitch to the batter for a maximum of 1 hour to achieve a flight of 385 ft. or a homerun which ever comes first.
• If this distance or a homerun is not achieved after 1 hour the pitcher will throw the baseball as far as he can to try and duplicate a 385 ft. flight.
• The keepsake ball will be signed by both players for added sentimental value.
• Baseball will be placed against an official Final Inning plaque suited for hanging or placing on a shelf or mantle.
• Cost of Final Inning services will be based on the two ball players present salary prorated
  (1 hour)
• Average cost is between $5,000.00 & $75,000.00
•
