So what's your preference? I gather that normally when the dead are
conjured, there's some sort of compulsion involved regarding the truth.

Well it is easier then. There is a rumor that the Mets, in lew of
Blackjet putting bulls eyes on his forehead are willing to move his casket
under home plate. Then each player can slam him with the bat before
setting up to hit to give them additional motivation to really slam the
ball.

So when Beltran inscribes a cross with the bat on home plate, it would
just be respect for the dead. I'd be concerned for the image of all the
Mets urinating on home plate...
