Evansville baseball team or Erie ice hockey team

I believe the answer is:

otters

(Other definitions for otters that I've seen before include "Aquatic carnivores" , "Water animals with webbed feet and brown fur" , "Fish-eating mammals" , "Fish-eating water animals, put to rest" , "Freshwater carnivorous mammals" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
