        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Andre Dawson&#8217;s post-playing career as a funeral home owner is coming to a television screen near you.</p><p>CBS is developing a one-hour drama series called &#8220;Closure,&#8221; which is loosely based on Dawson going from being a Baseball Hall of Famer to running a funeral home, <strong>according to Deadline</strong>.</p><p>The series, written by Samantha Corbin-Miller, will follow a former baseball star who takes over his uncle&#8217;s funeral home after his adult son disappears.</p><p>&#8220;Rocked by his family’s loss, he and his three daughters — a homicide detective, coroner and trauma nurse, who each have their own parallel journeys in the business of death — commit themselves to helping others find the peace and closure their family hasn’t been able to yet,&#8221; according to Deadline.</p><p>Dawson will reportedly serve as a consultant for the show.</p><p>The 66-year-old Dawson spent 21 years as an outfielder for the Expos, Cubs, Red Sox and Marlins before retiring after the 1996 season. He then <strong>entered the funeral home business</strong> in 2003 and owns one in Florida.</p><p>“You never know where God is going to lead you, but wherever it leads you, you have to be prepared,&#8221; Dawson <strong>told USA Today in 2018</strong>. &#8220;When this first fell into my lap, I prayed on it. I thought, &#8216;How am I really going to pull this off without having the background, or knowing anything really about the industry?&#8217; But I wanted to make this as good a facility as I possibly could, and I’m proud of it.</p><p>“It’s important to me because this is a product the community needs.’’</p>]]></content:encoded>
