WILL DON BEAVER BE THE KNIGHT IN SHINING ARMOR FOR TWINS?

9.15.1997

          Don Beaver, who is looking to bring an MLB team to NC,
     was in Minnesota to "let Twins owner Carl Pohlad know that
     Charlotte is interested in either buying the Twins or
     encouraging Pohlad to relocate there," according to Sid
     Hartman of the Minneapolis STAR TRIBUNE.  Hartman: "The
     Pohlads refused to confirm Beaver's visit.  But rest assured
     Beaver spent a long time with the Pohlads."  Hartman noted
     Pohlad's "great relationship" with the Charlotte banking
     community as another possible lure (STAR TRIBUNE, 9/13).
