If you were to "Google" Bear River, Minnesota, one of the sites that will come up is that of the Minnesota Twins. Turns out that T.C. Bear - the Twins Mascot - was "born" in this little community! :D So.... I wrote to T.C., telling him about the 100th annual fair - and invited him to come back to his birthplace. I got a note back from him and sadly, T.C. had a prior commitment. The Twins will be playing the Yankees that weekend and T.C., of course, has to be working at the games. He did send his regrets and his greetings to everyone. The following is information about T.C. :
HT: 6-4 WT: unBEARably heavy BATS: Both - mostly left-handed
THROWS: Both, but most of the time -- it's left-handed.
BORN: 1991 in Bear River, Minnesota
HOME: White Bear Lake, Minnesota
HOW OBTAINED: Signed as free agent, April 3, 2000
PRE-GAME MEAL: Twins Dogs, fresh fish, and the occasional pot o' honey
Before joining the Twins, T.C. lead the Carnivore League in home runs, RBI's and batting average. He also holds the league records of most trout eaten in a single setting (12). Though highly sought by teams throughout the country, T.C. chose to join his favorite club, the Twins.
