The frenzy among Chicago Cubs fans to snag pricey and scarce tickets to World Series games at Wrigley Field has now landed in divorce court.Court documents obtained by The Associated Press from Cook County Circuit Court on Friday say a woman this week submitted an Emergency Petition For World Series Tickets to see Game 4 on Saturday against the Cleveland Indians.A judges order says the tickets for Saturday are held by Nancy Riddles estranged husband and fellow Cubs fan John Riddle. Judge Marya Nega ruled after in-court arguments that the husband can keep the tickets for himself and the couples 12-year-old son but should pay for a new ticket for Nancy Riddle in a comparable section to his.The cheapest available tickets start at around $3,000.The Cubs havent won a World Series title since 1908, and long-suffering fans are paying a minimum of thousands of dollars per ticket to attend games at Wrigley Field. Even standing-room tickets on sites such as StubHub started at around $2,500, with tickets for most actual seats going for at least five figures and some sellers asking for more than $100,000 for prime box seats.The husbands lawyer, Michael Berger, declined to name his client in a Thursday interview. But he did describe the legal tussle, saying his client landed the World Series tickets because he bought a season-ticket package deal with his friends this year before divorce proceedings began in April.Berger said he objected to the notion that because the Cubs hadnt made it to a World Series in 71 years, the request for the judge to intervene on the ticket issue was an emergency because the Cubs might not make it back to another World Series in the wifes lifetime.Berger is a fan of the Cubs crosstown rivals, the White Sox, and said he reluctantly acknowledged to the court during arguments before the judge that the Cubs are a great team.Even if the Cubs lose this time, it is likely -- regrettably -- that they will be back to the World Series again soon, he said in a Thursday phone interview.One team, the NFLs?Green Bay Packers, has a clause in place to handle similar situations: Upon divorce or separation, we will honor a stipulation authorizing retention or transfer of tickets to one or both of the parties.

Aside from the trilogy main event title fight, there are a number of intriguing matchups in the heavyweight, welterweight and lightweight divisions.Alabama coach Nick Saban had some pointed observations about players transferring midseason after he confirmed Thursday that redshirt freshman quarterback Blake Barnett had officially left the university.We received word this afternoon that Blake Barnett has officially withdrawn from school and is no longer with our program, Saban said in a written statement. The quarterback position is a very unique position where only one player can play. We are very disappointed any time a player leaves the program who feels he can compete for a starting position elsewhere, rather than here at Alabama. We wish Blake the very best of luck in the future.Barnett is the fourth quarterback to transfer from Alabama since 2014, joining Parker McLeod, Luke Del Rio and Alec Morris.Saban later expounded on the topic of midseason transfers -- while not specifically mentioning Barnett by name -- on his weekly radio show.Its one of those things where I think the culture has changed a little bit, Saban said.?Theres certain pride people have in competition. Theres certain things I was taught growing up about not quitting and seeing things through. I think if Id come home and told my dad that I was going to quit the team, I think hed have kicked me out of the house. I dont think Id have had a place to stay. Sometimes you didnt have the choices.But the Crimson Tide coach said players having options these days isnt a bad thing.I think its a good thing that young players have more choices to do things -- theyre more exposed to things, said Saban. But I do think theres a lot more basketball players that are transferring than ever. The tendency now is, if things dont work out the way I want them to work out where I am, Im going to find a place to play someplace else.Saban became Alabama coach in January 2007, vacating his Miami Dolphins coaching job with three seasons remaining on his contract. Prior to making the jump, Sabann said in December 2006 amid a 6-10 Dolphins season that I guess I have to say it: Im not going to be the Alabama coach.ddddddddddddBarnett, a former five-star product from California, started Alabamas season-opening game against USC before he was pulled in favor of?Jalen Hurts.?I think some of these young guys that have these high expectations sometimes given by no fault of their own -- whether the media makes them the best quarterback and the expectation is when they come to Alabama that they have immediate success and be a starter, Saban said on the radio show. When that doesnt happen, you fear the future. Am I going to fail in the future? Am I going to have an opportunity to make it in the future?AL.com reported that Barnett will go to a junior college, and since hes leaving Bama right now, he will be eligible to play at another FBS program at this point next year provided he meets the minimum credits and GPA and graduates from the juco.My dad used to say the grass is always greener on the top of the septic tank. It always looks better someplace else, Saban said. So you think, instead of facing your fear and overcoming adversity and making yourself better through competition, you go someplace else thinking itll be better there. Until you face your fear, youre always going to have some of those issues and problems.Redshirt junior Cooper Bateman is now the clear No. 2 quarterback on the Crimson Tides depth chart with Barnetts departure.
