I think the same way as you, it's profiting off of someone's death, but doing it while knowing that their passing is the reason you're getting the extra money. Instead of mourning the loss, you're thinking about how their death benefits you. I couldn't do that and I too am surprised at how nonchalant everyone is here about it, but to each his own. I'm not saying anyone is wrong, it's just not for me.

Another with 13 players who were with the Pittsburgh Pirates during the regular season, but never played a game. There's also one about 27 baseball families, as well as a day-by-day look at the worst team in Pittsburgh Pirates history. All five can be found here:
