If you think you know a sports addict you haven’t seen anything yet! A Chicago couple who are die hard Cubs fans named their child Wrigley Fields!
His parents have said that it’s ok if he uses his middle name, Alexander, when he’s older but for now the newborn goes by the name of Wrigley. I suppose that’s an appropriate enough name for a newborn, but once this child’s a few years old that name won’t fly. Of course his last name is Fields.
The Michigan City, Indiana couple are big fans of the Cubs and they’ve had this name planned for years.
Spokeswoman for the Cubs, Katelyn Thrall has said that the name might be a first as the team has no record of any other children who’ve been named Wrigley. However there have been a few children named after famous Cubs such as Zambrano, and Ryne.
Ok, as a HUGE baseball fan, I understand wanting to name your child after something surrounding your favorite team. What I can’t understand is naming your child after the site of so many years of losing. Like a friend of mine says, raising a kid to be a Cubs fan should count as child abuse.
Ha i think its awesom. . the kid if he ends up to be a cubs fan, i think will love the name his parents gave him and will hold is head up high for his team. . but if not oh no what will happen. . funny funny
