Title: Andre Dawson will bury you
Post by: BeefMaster on 05/09/18, 10:03:28 AM
Literally - he is now a funeral director (https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/columnist/bob-nightengale/2018/05/08/andre-dawson-hall-famer-funeral-home-florida-retirement/590358002/).  And he's not just some absentee owner type, like athletes who open restaurants - he's actually involved in the business, ushering at funerals and working with families and doing basically everything except embalming.

I feel like Andre Dawson being around at a loved one's funeral would be a good thing.

Question:  Do you pronounce it "burry" or berry"?

"Berry", and I am mildly weirded out by the other one being an option.
