CHICAGO - His parents say he can go by his middle name when he’s old enough to decide.
For now, the newborn will be known by his first name: Wrigley.
And his last name: Fields.
His parents are Paul and Teri Fields of Michigan City, Ind. They are — no surprise — Cubs fans. They planned the name for years before their son’s birth.
Wrigley Alexander Fields was born Sept. 12 at an Indiana hospital.
Cubs spokeswoman Katelyn Thrall said the name may be a first. The team has no record of other children named Wrigley, although there have been some children names Zambrano and Ryne after Cubs stars Carlos Zambrano and Ryne Sandberg.
I've seen a lot of baby names (Cora Vette, Shi'Thead, Liberty Belle, Precious U'nique) at work, and this ranks right up there. I guess it's better than "Friendly Confines".
Sheesh.

Yeah, for a nickname they will call him "Stadium where an underachieving team plays and rooted on by drunk frat boys who know nothing about baseball." I guess that would be hard to spit all that out when you are mad at him. Go Brewers.
I think they could've been more subtle: Clark Addison Puckett. Damn, now I gave it away...
