Do you want fries with that?

I admit to being one who enjoys a good burger at the ballgame, but what the West Michigan Whitecaps of the Class A Midwest League are offering this year is a bit much. The Whitecaps' gameday menu includes a 4-pound, $20 burger that features five beef patties, five slices of cheese, nearly a cup of chili, salsa and corn chips on an 8-inch bun. Talk about some major league cholesterol and calories.
According to the Whitecaps, anyone who eats the entire 4,800-calorie burger in one sitting will receive a special T-shirt. You also should get a defibrillator.
This one tops the Gateway Grizzlies, who a few years ago added a bacon cheeseburger served between two halves of a Krispy Kreme doughnut to their ballpark menu.
