As if Major League Baseball (MLB) doesn't have enough on its plate with a tainted Barry Bonds chasing Hank Aaron's precious home run record and Sammy Sosa and Ken Griffey Jr. both closing in on 600 career home runs, now they are threatening the fantasy baseball leagues!! Come on, give me a break, isn't anything sacred and just about the love of the game?!! Oh, yeah, there are lawyers involved!

MLB lawyers are demanding that fantasy leagues, of which there are hundreds--no--thousands-- pay a licensing fee to the MLB for players names and statistics. One particularly sane judge--must have been a bad lawyer cause he's doing the right thing --said "MLB is like a public religion. This is just part of being an American, isn't it?" Thank you U.S. Judge Morris Arnold for being a voice of sanity in an insane grab for more money. A lower court denied MLB's request for licensing--thank you Babe Ruth's ghost!!
