As previously reported right here on 7IS, two Minnesota Twins have gone mustache marvelous this season.  A wise woman wrote that Nick Punto is now at last “the Mario to Carl Pavano’s Luigi.”

I think it was Stephen Hawking who said that where there’s a Mario and a Luigi, there must also be a Yoshi, and that the only way Super Mario Bros. 3 could be improved upon would be if Yoshi also grew a mustache.

Obviously, someone in Minnesota was hanging on Stephen Hawking’s every word, because our sources have informed us that a) the Minnesota Twins have some sort of bear mascot, and that more importantly 2) said bear mascot thing has grown a mustache:

This is bigger news in Minnesota than the Mikko Koivu extension. Still this TC Bear thing has a long way to go to be up there in the mustached mascot elite with Mr. Redlegs.

And hopefully this will inspire Joe Mauer to make our mustache prophesies come to glorious lip fruition.
