Clippers and Eugene Emeralds agree to "Pass a Cold One" Wager

COLUMBUS, OH - The Columbus Clippers, Triple-A affiliate of the Cleveland Indians and the Eugene Emeralds, Class A short-season affiliate of the Chicago Cubs, are excited to announce a friendly wager on the upcoming College Football Playoff National Championship Game between The Ohio State Buckeyes and the Oregon Ducks.
