CHICAGO (AP) - 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 - fans of the Cubs, who have played at Wrigley Field since 1916. The Fields 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 feel sorry for this kid having to grow up with such bonehead parents.........

It could always be worse, the baby could have been named Candlestick Park.

I'm hoping for the kid's sake, they call him "Lee".

How much you want to bet this poor kid's middle name is either "WC", "Sally" or "Mrs."?.....

And his sister could be named Ivy, with the middle names Covered Wrigley, last name Fields.

It could always be worse, the baby could have been named Candlestick Park.

 

It is now Monster Park after brief stints as Pac Bell Park, AT&T Park, and maybe a couple other names.

 

Still, this makes a little more sense than that Chinese couple who wanted to name their baby "@".
