Baseball stars are back for Kolar Toyota ALS Fishing Tournament

The Kolar Toyota ALS Fishing Tournament is this weekend on Island Lake.

World Series-winning, former Twins players Terry Steinbach and Kent Hrbek stopped by The Lift on their way to the Kolar Toyota ALS Fishing Tournament.

The events benefits Never Surrender, a non-profit that supports ALS patients and their families.

Almost time to cast for a cure again at the 29th annual Kolar Toyota ALS Fishing Tournament

Fishing is how Hrbek started his involvement with Never Surrender. He said, ‘”We helped Dave Kolquist start this tournament up here. I had a fishing tournament in Minneapolis at the time. After 16 or 17 years of a golf tournament we were doing. Dave came up and wanted know if I wanted to start one up here. 29 years later here we are. “

As of Friday, there is still space for folks to register. Folks will be casting their lines for a cure on Island Lake in Duluth Saturday.

This Summer, Steinbach will be inducted into the Oakland A’s Hall of Fame. “It’s an honor,” he told The Lift. “You got a little speech. We got five of us going in so we don’t have a ton of time, but I mean the emotions of when your standing on the field where I played the majority of my career. It’s going to be overwhelming.”
