Hot Potato

Byron Winslow, 9, of Presque Isle holds a 3-pound Russet potato that grew in the shape of a baseball mitt. The Maine Potato News said the oddly shaped spud was grown on a Caribou farm near where Boston Red Sox legend and Hall of Famer Carl Yastrzemski once grew potatoes with his uncle. Winslow says he's been a Red Sox fan "since I was 4 or 5." Maine Potato News photo
