Today in comically oversized salami news ...

In the NHL, three goals earns a player a shower of hats. In the NFL, a winning coach gets a Gatorade shower. Some of Shane Robinson's friends are apparently trying to start a similar MLB tradition after the outfielder's grand slam on Friday.

My friends thought they were clever by getting me a gift for my grand slam the other day. @jgrantatl and Steve twitter.com/SUGASHANE43/st…

The salami, a Genoa varietal, is known for its fermented and garlicky flavor. It's big, awkward, eye-catching and delicious -- in other words, everything a grand slam should be.
