I know this is not exactly New York Yankees related but when I read this I had to share with the readers an interesting story regarding the Atlanta Braves signing of AJ Pierzynski. Apparently a Braves fan Aaron Lunsford and his father were in line at the Honeybaked Ham location in Woodstock, GA when they noticed they were standing behind Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez. According to a set of tweets (@darrenstains, seen below, the group got talking about baseball when Gonzalez leaked a signing that the big guys had not reported on yet. Gonzalez leaked the news that the Braves had signed Pierzynski to a couple of random fans waiting in line for his ham sandwich.
Fredi after mentioning grilli signing "we signed a catcher today, pierzynski"
dad - "AJ?"
Fredi - "yep. You're the first to know"

Take that to the Jon
Heyman and Buster Olney’s of the world. In
response, and somewhat as a joke, Lunsford started a blog called hamrumors.com
which went on to basically attack Dave O’Brien of the Atlanta Journal
Constitution and Mark Bowman for falsifying the story that Lunsford and his
father told. It’s an interesting read and let’s be honest, you’re either at
home with nothing better to do or at work with nothing better to do. Give it aclick and check it out.
