Cy Young Award winner David Price signed a Twinkie that sold for $56 on ebay. We can't make this stuff up.

Well, you can add this to the Sports Signs of the Apocalypse, I suppose.

A Twinkie autographed by American League Cy Young Award winner David Price sold on ebay Saturday for $56 ($56?!?).

Let that digest for a second: A Twinkie sold for $56. I understand they're a hot commodity since Hostess shut down, but this is incredible, isn't it?

We did some serious investigating and followed a series of Twitter exchanges between Price and fans to get to the bottom of this story:

Tweet No. 1: Yea i signed it...gonna buy it RT @hagfish48: @DAVIDprice14 did you know there is a Twinkie signed by you in eBay? Seems weird!

Tweet No. 2: No...infants forehead with black sharpie RT @TholeMoley: @DAVIDprice14 Is a Twinkie the weirdest thing you've ever signed?

Tweet No. 3: Both parents were standing there ok'n it...trust me i felt weird...vu tailgate 08 RT @jonespiritu: @DAVIDprice14 Jesus man and you did it??

Tweet No. 4: No chance...ill save it and give it to my kids RT @robyounce: @DAVIDprice14 Are you gonna eat the Twinkie after you buy it? #hungry

Tweet No. 5: Live auction at my banquet RT @MFedor1231: @DAVIDprice14 out of curiosity, why the heck did the person want a Twinkie signed? Just to sell?

I feel like I know so much more about David Price now. What just happened?
