For a split second I thought that it was the Zips that changed their mascot to the Rubber Duck.

They do, and Canal Park where the 'Ducks (?) play is really nice, a great place to see a minor league game.

That new nickname is just really bad.  First the "Zips" and now the "Rubberducks"?  At least Akron goes with original nicknames, I guess.

An Ohio alum is responsible for this change.   It was an interesting day for my brother yesterday.  I'm now related to a Rubber Duck.

And yes, Canal Park is really a great place to see a game.  Brand new scoreboard and not a bad seat in the house.
