Ballpark Now Selling 5,000-Calorie Burger Packed With Chili and Fritos

While MLB fans are paying attention to the reports and stats coming out of Spring Training, the West Michigan Whitecaps, a minor-league team, has learned how to get some fameballs thrown their way. The team's ballpark just announced a new addition to their concession menu--The Fifth Third Burger, named after the ballpark's sponsor, the Fifth Third bank.

But don't think that's just an obligatory name for the burger. Oh no. It's also 5/3 pounds of beef with lettuce, tomato, salsa, sour cream, chili and Fritos packed inside.

The team says it feeds one to four people and sells for $20, and if a person finishes the Fifth Third Burger in one sitting, the team will offer up a Fifth Third Burger T-shirt.

And just in case you're on a diet or something, that burger has nearly 5,000 calories and 299 grams of fat. Omg. Whatever happened to "peanuts and crackerjacks"?

The West Michigan Whitecaps play their games in Comstock, Mich.. They begin playing ball on April 8 at home. Tickets start at $5 for lawn seats and $13 for premium seats. Yes, the burger costs more than the game tickets.
