Getting your player ready...
A Chicago Cubs fan has vowed to go on a semi-hunger strike, promising to eat only 500 calories a day until the team wins five games in a row. Daniel Kamen, 53, of Buffalo Grove, Ill., said he plans to begin his diet in mid-July and continue until the Cubs either win five consecutive games or end their season. “I’m going to motivate them,” he said. “I’m going to embarrass them into winning more games. They will see me get skinnier and skinnier, until maybe there’s nothing left of me.” Kamen’s diet will consist of a cup of fat-free yogurt, one egg and some popcorn with a light sprinkling of brewer’s yeast.
