Cubs fans can charge with Cubs and Wrigley

Summary: Not only are the Cubs charging in the National League Central this season, but so are their fans.

Not only are the Cubs charging in the National League Central this season, but so are their fans. The city is selling off pieces of Wrigley Field, one piece at a time! There is something for just about every price range, from $5 tickets from past games to a rare stadium seat that was accidentally colored wrong-priced at $1,500-and everything in between. There is even a pretty comprehensive guide of what was and, in some cases, still is, for sale. But there is a rather bizarre twist to this. THEY TAKE CREDIT CARDS! In these days, when not only is our country almost 1 trillion (that's a lot of zeros, people! And half of that is to communist China) dollars in credit card debt,with a basic American household owing an average of $3,400 (and even McDonald's taking credit cards now), here is an opportunity for us to pump up that average even more. Not that it wouldn't be neat to own a piece of one of the most beloved-if not the most beloved-baseball parks in America, but this is just inviting trouble! In some states, people can buy lottery tickets with their credit cards... it just doesn't seem right. Although the proceeds go to a good cause, I can easily see an avid Cubs fan getting carried away with this! Can you imagine what that fan's spouse will think when they look at the itemized part of their credit card bill? I foresee a lot of Cubs fans getting the mail and hiding the bill in their billing cycle! How would one explain a $1,000 charge on the bill for old Wrigley memorabilia? Talk about an impulse buy! I can hear it now: "Honey, what are these old bleacher chairs doing in our dining room and living room? And where did all our furniture go?" Hey, maybe these buyers can use the money they got for their furniture to pay for the bleacher seats! They can even make up some story about how a certain piece of their furniture has some historical significance, like... "This is the Texas leather EZ-Boy recliner in which George W. Bush almost choked to death when he got wasted and atea pretzel!" (Oh, how famous a chair and a pretzel those would be! Such a conspiratorial couple that would make! They would surely be executed under the U.S. Patriot Act by burning, their ashes put on display at the Smithsonian! But not before the ticker tape parade praised them as "The objects that saved the planet" and the ceremonial awarding of the congressional medal of honor
