Cubs burial ground planned

Spot for fans whose team hasn't won in an eternity

Chicago (AP) -- 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.

The plan is to build a 24-foot-long ivy-covered wall that looks a lot like the wall at Wrigley Field. It will include such features as a stained-glass scoreboard and bronze plaques for the deceased that look like baseball cards.

It's all on the drawing board now but Dennis Mascari says he hopes it will be built by October.
