You see, until this year, the University of Oregon in Eugene, one of the state’s largest public institutions, hadn’t fielded a baseball team since 1982. Quite the oddity, especially considering that the Ducks’ main rival, the Oregon State Beavers, captured back-to-back College World Series titles in 2006 and 2007.
