I'm getting that T-Shirt

Darren Rovell has a blog post about my White Whale. He went and upped the ante by calling it his Minor League Concession Item of the Year and added that it is the most caloric item ever offered at a ballpark...whatever that means.

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.
Mickey Graham, the team's director of marketing and media relations, told us that they came up with this burger because it's something fun that people can understand.
Oh, I understand. I understand that it's going down.

The Whitecaps had better understand that my T-shirt size is XXL.

Oh, and this is supposed to scare me?!?!?!

Oh.....wow. Umm, good luck with that. Your stomach is going to need it!

That thing is just nasty... 244% of your daily calories----NICE!

Speaking of nice, did you see that Suppan is opening up for the Brewers? He. He. He.

Just as a hint of advice. I would recommend eating this either after a game, or on an off day (if you ever get one, in between bus rides and evaluating hotel art). Eating it before a game could make for a brutal broadcast. Have you marked this on your calendar yet?

Rattlers roll into West Michigan after a game in Dayton in the wee small hours of May 29 and are in for three games.

The logical play is that first day in there. After not eating for two days leading up to the event. That covers the 244% calorie conundrum.

I think that eating this may improve the broadcasts. Don't you realize how brutal they have been without me eating a Fifth Third Burger?
