COMSTOCK PARK -- The next item the West Michigan Whitecaps might want to consider selling at Fifth Third Ballpark concession stands is antacids. Or cholesterol medication.

That is because their newest menu option is a 4,800-calorie mouthful.

The team's Fifth Third Burger recently garnered attention from ESPN's "SportsCenter" and NBC's "The Today Show," in addition to Web sites and blogs across the country.

"We always try to come up with something new and innovative," Whitecaps president Scott Lane said. "We believe it's very important to the overall experience."

We have a Fat Mo's here that does a similar burger... it's the first time I had sour cream, nacho cheese, and jalapenos on a burger.  It's heavenly.

That's all very well, but it would be better with a few rashers of bacon as a garnish.  :-)
