FOX Sports North recently teamed with affiliate partner, Mediacom and the Minnesota Twins to promote an important public service campaign, which used the appeal of sports to champion literacy.

Minnesota Twins pitcher Jesse Crain and TC Bear visited Orono Intermediate School in Sept. as part of FOX Sports North's Reading All-Stars literacy initiative. More than 600 students in third through fifth grades at Orono Intermediate each received The Road to the Twins, a book about a Twins player who describes his journey from childhood to the Major Leagues.
