    Indiana Couple Name Baby Boy Wrigley Fields
    Monday, September 24, 2007


    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 — 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.

    Cute, but I'm not sure when the young boy grows up he will like the name very much.

    Are the parents Beatles fans as well? Would they name a daughter "Strawberry"?

    That was pretty funny guys.

    I was thinking more of a traditional name like William.

    William Claude Fields.

    All good references. The sad one is Killing Fields. After all the Cambodian guy endured before making the movie, he was gang-banged in LA years afterward.

    What if the last name was Parks and they were Reds fans? Great American Ball? What if they were Red Sox Fans? Fenway? Yada...yada. :roll:
