With the annual Teddy Bear Toss, fans donate small stuffed animals by throwing them onto the field after the Timbers score their first goal in a designated game. Last Friday, nearly 11,000 stuffed animals were donated and stormed the pitch when the Timbers took a 1-0 lead over the Minnesota Thunder on fourth-minute goal by Josten at PGE Park. The Timbers went on to win 5-1.
