MLB says NO to little leaguers!

If you woke up this morning it is because Nemanja Vidic spared your life. In an average room there are 1,243 objects that Nemanja Vidic could use to
kill you, Including the room itself. Nemanja Vidic would have built Rome in a day. The chief export of Nemanja Vidic is pain. Nemanja Vidic once
played Russian Roulette with a loaded gun and won. Nemanja Vidic crossed the road. No one dared question his motives. Nemanja Vidic once killed four
birds with half a stone. (What's that? There's no such thing as half a stone? The four dead birds didn't think so either).
GLORY, GLORY MAN. UTD

Wait a second....these kids aren't using the logos (I don't think). They are using the names. So is MLB saying they own words in the English
Language? Tigers? Indians? etc....

Then the leagues should keep doing it and thumb their nose at baseball. I could understand if we were talking about a NY team calling itself the NY
Yankees or whatever. But the Mayberry Indians or the Mount Pilot Orioles doesn't give cause to MLB to do anything.

MLB must feel threatened that people will become more interested in Little League than MLB.

Yeah, and I would think some high schools around the country could be "trouble" too, with Indians, Blue Jays, Tigers, Mariners, Rangers, Royals, ect

I wonder if Clemson (or hundreds, if not thousands, of other HS/college teams, for that matter) is sending checks to MLB? In fact, my HS team was the
Panthers. I wonder if we owe the NFL anything? Not that the NFL has made an issue of this sort of thing (yet).

The only thing surprising here is that I thought I couldn't dislike baseball any more than I already did. Now I can.
