Just in case your Mom hasn’t been walked all over by enough beer-swiggin’-over-weight-bbq-lovin’ losers, the Kansas City Royals have a deal for you:
Mom deserves something special and we can help you find the perfect Mother’s Day gift. Surprise your Mom with a special Mother’s Day greeting on a personalized engraved brick to be installed in the Grand Walkway at Kauffman Stadium. Orders can be made today by calling 1-877-KCR-BRIX or visiting royals.com/bricks with proceeds benefitting Royals Charities.With every order comes a FREE replica brick that will feature an identical engraved message as well as a small plaque commemorating your contribution. Gift certificates are available as well if you think Mom would like to choose her own message.
We’ll look over their preference for benefitting rather than benefiting, but gosh darn is this a deal. The small brick (4″x8″ – 3 lines of text) comes in at $150, medium (8″x8″ – 6 lines of text) at $250, and a large version (8″x8″ – 4 lines of text) with the KC logo for a steal at $300.
Luckily for you, the replica brick is made of anything but replica brick. Enjoy the shipping rates:

I’m not sure about your mom, but if I purchased my mother a brick outside of a baseball stadium, it’d quickly become my tombstone.
Remember, May 10th is Mother’s Day, and the only acceptable baseball-related gift is a shirtless massage from circa 2004, Johnny Damon:
…if only the Royals hadn’t traded Damon (and Ellis) for Berroa, Hinch and Roberto Hernandez.
I think I’m going with the small brick and…
“Aren’t you glad that
you believed Dad when
he said he’d pull out?”
