Former mascot is fighting cancer like a Tiger
Bays and his friend Bart Foley pose with the championship trophyMost Clemson fans feel like they are Tigers at heart, but Michael Bays takes it to another level. Bays was the beloved Tiger mascot from 1994-1997, and now he is fighting like a Tiger to beat cancer.
The fight is one Bays is familiar with. He’s already beaten cancer once.
Bays was working with the Greenville Drive spirit team back in 2007 when he fell and broke his arm.
“I broke my left femur bone at a Greenville Drive game, and that is when they discovered cancer in my left femur,” Bays told TigerNet this week. “I overcame it, and I’ve been walking. I have arthritis in my leg permanently, but I’ve been kicking around good.”
