Minnesotan grows world's largest pumpkin

Travis Gienger is the type of guy who likes to go big or go home. Only in his case it’s more like: Gourd big or go home.

Gienger grows pumpkins. Big pumpkins. Ginormous, prize-winning pumpkins.

Still, back in the spring, when he looked down upon the basketball-shaped fruit forming in his patch, the Anoka County gardener had no idea he had a champion on his hands. He named the 10-day-old Atlantic giant pumpkin Michael Jordan for its perfectly round shape and moved on.

That pumpkin would go on to break a world record.
