GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – Well, at least the salsa is low-cal. The West Michigan Whitecaps, a minor league baseball team, will be offering up major league cholesterol, carbohydrates and calories in an enormous hamburger being added to the menu this year at the Fifth Third Ballpark.
The 4-pound, $20 burger features five beef patties, five slices of cheese, nearly a cup of chili and liberal doses of salsa and corn chips, all on an 8-inch sesame-seed bun. That's a lot of dough!

Eat the whole thing, get a T-shirt.. or have it sliced up and share it.
What's a few clogged arteries between baseball buddies?

That’s the spirit! And remember this important fact - there is no such thing as a clogged artery and certainly not from one measly hamburger!
Show some spirit people - eat big!

There you go again trying to scare all these good people! Big hamburgers don’t cause bad hearts, doctors do. After all, how would someone with a bad heart know they had a bad heart? Simple. Some villainous doctor told them so.
And what is the villainous doctors advice? Stay away from big hamburgers. That’s why I don’t listen to no doctor when it comes to hamburgers!

I don’t care if people want to kill themselves (more soylent green for me), but how do you eat something like this at a ballpark? It would seem to be pretty messy. /mom

Real messy. They’ll cut it with a pizza slicer for ya, but then, you’d definitely need utensils to finish it off.
I guess ya just pass it around.

It’s cold in Michigan. Calories = heat. I see no downside here...

Looks like the ‘Garbage Can’ burger we used to order at Fat Mikes in Rutherford NJ.

The ballpark is north of GR, in Comstock Park, and about, hmm, seven or eight miles from here. Just a second, something hit the house. Oh, a pickle slid down off one of those burgers.
