I've said a number of times in recent years that I want 'Take Me Out to the Ballgame' played at my funeral, and I want my ashes spread at Turner Field.
I'm not even kind of joking.
Braves home opener + Duke title on April 5, 2010 was one of the two or three best days of my life. I'm getting chills just typing this.
I attended the funeral for a lady who had housed the San Jose Giants players in her home for years. The postlude was "Take Me Out To The Ballgame."

I love this. I seriously do want it played at my funeral too, although I want everyone to sing it. I think it will sound great played on the big organ in the sanctuary.
