John Axford is a man who knows what he wants. And, just as importantly, he knows how to get it.
As the Wisconsin State Fair took place this weekend, Axford was holed up at Miller Park for the Brewers' series against the Washington Nationals. So how could Axford, a reliever, get his hands on some of the famed Krispy Kreme Donuts?
Axford, like other professional athletes in need, took to Twitter in a time of trouble.
Who is at the WI State Fair & would like to exchange a dozen Krispy Kreme Burgers for a dozen game tickets? (plus the cost of the burgers)

A woman named Kathy Darrow responded to Axford's request, and the two worked out the details via Twitter:
@KathyDarrow will you now? How do you feel about an exchange? And where can we do this exchange? Getting a feel if this will work!

About three hours after Axford's original tweet, he posted this photo:
Hurray! Thank you so much @KathyDarrow for taking the time to get these for us. A little taste of the @wistatefair. pic.twitter.com/UfrsP2i6nI

And yes, if you're wondering, those are Krispy Kreme hamburgers with bacon-covered chocolate. Yum.
It's unclear which games Darrow got tickets for, but it appears she attended Sunday's series finale against the Nationals at Miller Park:
Great day for a ball game at Miller Park
