Mo Vaughn Serves Honey Baked Ham on Men Make Dinner Day

 HoneyBaked Ham Inc. hopes to hit a marketing home run with Mo Vaughn. Vaughn, the former slugger for the Boston Red Sox,Anaheim Angels and New York Mets.

Analysts expect the deal to pay huge dividends for both parties involved, since Vaughn will  be paid in whole hams, rather than any financial compensation, and 75% of honey baked hams customers are fat,lazy men ages 20-50 who love baseball.

During today's press conference, Vaughn said the deal makes his life even easier on national Men Make Dinner Day . After providing just one quote, Vaughn  took his  daily three-hour nap on a couch outside of the conference room.

The HoneyBaked brand was invented 40 years ago by Harry J. Hoenselaar in  Michigan, who used a secret marinade,  and smoked the ham for hours over a unique blend of hardwood chips. His creation's trademark is a crispy outer glaze that's as rich as Vaughn's savings account in 1998, when he signed his six-year, $88-million deal with the Anaheim Angels.

Vaughn's endorsement reminded many bitter  Mets' fans of a hamstring injury that kept him off the field for most of his career in New York, including the entire 2001 season.

*(The above story is totally fictional and was written as a funny method to test traffic flow. Mo Vaughn, Honey Baked Ham and National Men Make Dinner Day were among the top 100 in Google Trends today. Sorry , no ham for Mo!)
