White Bears

The White Bears are one of two baseball teams in the Game Boy port of Baseball. They appear in both the USA mode and the Japan mode, just with different team members in each mode. They are, by default, always the first to bat. Their opponent team they play against in the game are the Red Eagles. Due to limitations of the Game Boy hardware, their in-game name is displayed as simply "W-BEARS".

Trivia

 * The game includes a character named "Yoshi" that plays for the White Bears in the Japanese mode. Baseball was released a year before Yoshi's very first appearance in the Japanese release of Super Mario World, and thus the connection is merely coincidental. In real life, Yoshi is a name in the Japanese language that can be a first name, a last name or a commonly used shortened nickname for a longer name.
