Chopper was born September 15, 2008 in Gwinnett County. He is a descendant of the famed groundhog General Beauregard Lee, Georgia’s foremost weather prognosticator. Chopper is a loyal and mischievous groundhog with a love for baseball, food, and Gwinnett. He is protective of his friends and family but always ready to have fun. He never backs down from a challenge and is always happy to lend a hand. Chopper can be found cheering on the Stripers at Coolray Field, making appearances around Georgia, making Tik Toks, and taking naps in the dugout. He loves messing with his friends, throwing down on the dance floor, taking pictures with fans, and eating popcorn. Chopper aspires to one day host his own food show.
