Pumpkin named ‘Michael Jordan‘ sets world record for heaviest ever appeared on bullswire.usatoday.com by Cameron Tabatabaie.
The 50th annual World Championship Pumpkin Weigh-Off had a surprising connection to the Chicago Bulls. The winning pumpkin was nicknamed after Bulls great Michael Jordan, and at 2,739 pounds, it set the record for the heaviest pumpkin ever.
Half Moon Bay, California, has hosted the event for decades, and for nearly 30 years, Travis Gienger has been the event’s top competitor. Last year, his pumpkin “Maverick” set a then-record for the event at 2,560 pounds. Gienger came back this year with an even bigger gourd, taking the top prize with his pumpkin “Michael Jordan,” setting a world record in the process.
Gienger usually selects nicknames based on the year of the competition. For 2023, he chose to honor Jordan, whose No. 23 jersey is an icon in the sports world.
