Hinkelman – the most famous pig farmer in Idaho, at least for the moment – won the top prize of $100,000 in a big-time fantasy baseball contest this fall. That made two national championships and more than $350,000 in winnings over three years for Hinkelman, a modest 59-year-old native of Greencreek, Idaho. More here. (Rajah Bose photo for SR)
