The story goes that he chose that name because the home games were to be played in Wrigley Field, home of the Cubs.
He possibly thought that it was strange that both the Tigers and Lions played in the same place...Tiger Stadium.
Even stranger, the big bad Bears were renting from the Cubby bears.

Is the champ bear a boy from build a bear workshop?
If it pleases you yes. But if you want your bear to be a girl, it can also be a girl. You choose the name of your bear/animal at the Build A Bear Workshop. I have been there many times and the name you give your cuddly friend gives it the gender you please. If you choose the name Taylor be careful because Taylor is both a boy and girl name. I also think that on the certificate you get at the end says the gender of your animal. Hope this helps you out! ;)
