Goodbye Portland Beavers!

((HT: KGW-TV Portland))

The Portland Beavers played their final game at downtown Portland's PGE Park on Monday. The franchise has no idea about next season...

Like, even if they'll exist anywhere at all...

They were the Triple-A affiliate of the San Diego Padres. But when the city won a bid to attract a Major League Soccer franchise, the new Portland Timbers franchise wanted a soccer-specific place to play.

That left the Beavers out of a home... and up for sale.

Some fans wore black to Monday's season finale against the Las Vegas 51s, which the Beavers won 6-5. The team had been around since, for the most part, 1903...

Here's the obit, thanks to our friends at KGW-TV...
