The Fort Wayne Huggie Bears men's softball team played one season (1980) in the North American Softball League replacing the Fort Wayne Scouts who played in the 1979 season in the American Pro-Slo-Pitch League.  The club took its name from the Huggie Bear Candy Company in Fort Wayne who produced teddy bear shaped lollipops.

The Huggie Bears played their home games at the Tah-Cum-Wah Recreation Center (now the Ash Centre) and featured Fort Wayne native and former San Francisco Giant infielder, Bruce Miller. The team folded after going 11-49 in 1980.
