- inactive, on 08/18/2008, -1/+17Somewhere out there, there's a family of Sox fans named Park, and they think "Comiskey" is a perfectly acceptable first name...
- BrentDPayne, on 08/18/2008, -1/+12Wonder if the kid will have a name change if Sam Zell sells Wrigley Field to Viagra . . .

- acmaurer, on 08/18/2008, -0/+8Yup! Can't you just imagine it? Mr. Apple Fields. Hahahahahhaaha
- ciano, on 08/18/2008, -0/+8I almost dugg you up, but then I saw that you signed the bottom of your post. So, I leave you at five diggs.
- walkable, on 08/18/2008, -0/+7Come on, now it's called U.S. Cellular Field. It would be a way better name. After all, who wouldn't want to name their kid after a crappy cellular phone company??
- notthatnoise, on 08/18/2008, -0/+6one of my wrestling coaches named his first daughter talia and his second daughter jenna. i guess he figured nobody would catch him if he did it in reverse order.
- acmaurer, on 08/18/2008, -0/+5I wouldn't be surprised!

/***** with a pet peeve - Fleagleman, on 08/18/2008, -1/+4No, they're just chokers.
That's what they call really good teams that ***** up royally in the playoffs. - swingerbone, on 08/18/2008, -0/+3What if he was named Strawberry - "Strawberry Fields"
- gcsmit6, on 08/18/2008, -1/+4i'm going to name my kid, petco park
- posure, on 08/18/2008, -0/+3Why not legally change your own name instead of punishing your son?
- Shaderone, on 08/18/2008, -0/+3Everyone knows this is how George "White House" Bush got elected.
- BrentDPayne, on 08/18/2008, -8/+10I'd like to meet this kid's mom. I bet she makes some kick ass cookies!
Hint: Mrs. Fields
Brent - Couchy, on 08/18/2008, -0/+2I wonder how much of his mail is going to be sent to the ballpark by mistake.
- serif69, on 08/18/2008, -0/+2He'll be too stiff to throw out the first pitch.
- ks136, on 08/19/2008, -0/+2Dugg for clever comment value! (I also happen to agree...how many ass whippings is this kid gonna have to take on the playground? Not to mention, gee, that name is gonna look GREAT on college applications, resumes....idiots.)
- Brandoskey, on 08/18/2008, -0/+2cubs all time record has never dipped below .500, basically they're a winning team, and always have been.

The stadium itself is not a landmark but certain aspects of it are. One of which is the famous marquee. So what is going to happen is some big jack ass company is going to buy the cubs and change the name of the park but at least they cannot take down the marquee that says wrigley field.
Call me a pessimist but you see this happen all the time with buy outs and mergers. This is one instance in which the company execs don't care about money but go though an ego trip. - DesertDude, on 08/19/2008, -0/+2Those Guitar Hero parents are starting to look pretty responsible.
- sulthernao, on 08/18/2008, -1/+2It's a historical landmark isn't it? Thus they can't change it.
- kurupttek, on 08/18/2008, -1/+2That looks like a comment up there
- Zantive, on 08/18/2008, -0/+1Maid*
- markeattnet, on 08/18/2008, -0/+1So you're saying that the only chance I ever have of throwing out a first pitch at the SHRINE OF BASEBALL during the 2008 CENTENNIAL CHAMPIONSHIP SEASON is to change my name? C'mon ColonelTribune, can't you help a brother out?
- IndigoMoss, on 08/18/2008, -0/+1I rarely find puns funny, but well played.
- walshgopher, on 08/19/2008, -0/+1Wrigleyanna
- walshgopher, on 08/19/2008, -0/+1I wonder how hopped up on painkillers his wife was when she filled out the registration
- walshgopher, on 08/19/2008, -0/+1When my parents went on their first cruise they sent my sister's and I a post card from some sunkissed land of fancy iced drinks and cabana boys just to remind us who earns the money in the house. They wrote our names and street, province and country but my dad, out of habit, filled in his mother's postal code. despite the rest of the information the postcard reached a postal office in Newfoundland instead of coming to our address in Ontario.
- JInnsbrook, on 08/19/2008, -0/+0That would never happen ... Sox fans actually know a thing or two about their ball club.... The mother of this kid was one of my high school teachers...
- Taiyoryu, on 08/18/2008, -1/+1What if he had only daughters?
- ngmcs8203, on 08/18/2008, -1/+1If he married a woman named Strawberry specifically for that reason, I would say he's crazy. IF he named his son Strawberry, I would say he's a crazy fruit.
- JustEaton, on 08/19/2008, -0/+0el oh el!
- rdoger6424, on 08/19/2008, -1/+1I hope no Phillies fans name their son Citizens Bank. Especially if they're Korean
- centran, on 08/18/2008, -1/+1I was just thinking how much it is going to suck for this kid when the Tribune sells the Cubs to some big company and that company does what every good big company does when they buy something... Slap 80+ years of history/tradition in the face, kick the fans/patrons in the balls, and change the name.
Because you know. Branding and all that.(forgetting that said company they purchased already had successfully built up a branding) - saiburrbully, on 08/18/2008, -1/+1I guess it's not a bad name, better than some of the names i've heard.
- VarelseSoul, on 08/18/2008, -2/+2In other news, a Houston, TX family names their first born son "Minute Made".
- CbME, on 08/18/2008, -3/+2You are a grammar, idiot.
- diggonit, on 08/18/2008, -3/+2I think "Perennial Loser" would be a better choice of first and middle names.
- bobrobon, on 08/19/2008, -1/+0Now that's team dedication!
- inactive, on 08/18/2008, -4/+3Too bad the Cubs suck
- inactive, on 08/18/2008, -7/+0i'm going to name my 2 kids "*****" and "You"
"Get ready for school ***** you."
