Okay, so I haven't been able to find this anywhere. I'm not sure about the dates, but it was an old book when I was a kid in the 90's. The aesthetics are definitely 50's-ish. The illustrations are all black and white. Maybe a 1 color accent occasionally.

I'm not sure how they boy gets the bear. Maybe it's mother was killed by hunters, not sure. Anyway, he and the cub become best friends. The boy's family makes maple syrup and maple candy. The boy feeds the bear maple candy and they play together. I don't remember much more of the plot.

Near the end, the bear gets too big and the kid's parents dont want him to play with the bear anymore. So they take the bear to the zoo. But the boy still visits the bear and feeds it maple candy. The bear remembers him.

Take from that what you will.

He has passed

Tyler Black (8 games)

Gary Sanchez (24 games)

Blake Perkins (19 games)

Garrett Mitchell (32 games)

Sal Frelick (34 games)

And several other less notable players.

Why have Brandon Sproat and Shane Drohan gotten to start while Logan Henderson has only gotten 1 shot? Last year he started 5 games and pitched a 1.78 ERA in 25 innings and in Nashville this year he has a 1.02 ERA in 17 innings.

Okay, he gave up 2 runs in his only 2 innings pitched with the big league team so far, but I think his larger body of work inspires confidence that he can get it done and I can ignore a 2 inning sample.

Is there something I'm missing?
