HoneyBaked Ham is a great place to go to pick up a meal for the holidays. It also, apparently, is a great place to go to find out important MLB news.

What a remarkable and funny story. But it’s not just the fan that deserves praise. Credit to Gonzalez for being cool enough to give breaking news to a guy he met at a HoneyBaked Ham.
This story has to end with somebody involved here getting free HoneyBaked Ham for life, right?
Stay tuned.
