The AAA Portland Beavers announced they were dropping their plans to change the team's nickname. They originally considered changing it because Oregon Duck fans would throw things at the Beaver mascot yelling that he represented Oregon State (also the Beavers) and also just because it was the same nickname as OSU.
The public survey they conducted was about 90% against changing, so they're going to stick with Beavers. Since the team has had that nickname ever since the Pacific Coast League was formed in 1903, it's the right thing to do. It especially sounds much better than one of the suggested changes - the Wet Sox.
