Boomer Wells: Bear Hunter

Former Yankees pitcher and current TBS broadcaster David Wells seems to enjoy big-game hunting now that he isn't pitching every fifth day.

He went bear hunting in Alaska, shooting a brown and a black bear -- only the black, he says, "is good eating" -- and tent-camping. His postcard: "If you aren't prepared for Alaska, it can eat you up in a heartbeat -- pretty gnarly."

Black bear is not a delicacy in New York, but perhaps in the Wells household. The brown bear, not good for eating, was shot because, "it was fucking with me," he said.
