Ok, Im a huge baseball fan. I have endured a lifetime of pain, being a die hard Red Sox fan. WHo else in here is a baseball fan??

I was selling jerseys but was asked to remove them because of copyright issues. I have since however designed some new shirts that only slightly resemble the actual team logos, but they are not in danger of violating any laws.

Is anyone else in here a big baseball fan? I will give you a free team shirt once I get the new ones completed if you tell me which team.

SF Giants please. Don't give me #25 though

You should check out http://www.ultimatebaseballonline.com/. It will probably fail but it's a good idea. You play your character in first person view and gain stats by playing others online. Check it out and fill us in because I'm too lazy to get into it

Ooooo, Seattle Mariners, please, and I'm partial to #11 for Edgar Martinez.

(And I will certainly pay for it, Beau... )

I'm a huge fan and also have some fan jerseys... so far I have not been asked to remove them.. but now that I'm pointing it out that might change? We shall see.

I have
SF Giants
Oakland A's
Boston Red Sox
and a couple others, I forget.

The best thing about the Superbowl is it means Baseball season is right around the corner.

Well, I'm a Dodgers fan hoping the new owner will undo Fox's mistakes... and trust me, there were many.

Willie Mays would have to be my all-time favorite baseball player, though.

Beau, I am assuming you were asked by LL to remove them?

Please tell me it wasn't MLB stomping out something that is no threat to them.
Oh. wait, they are losing out on the licensing fees that they are owed by you for using their trademarks, because as we all know they are in danger of being bankrupted by folks like you...

It was Linden Labs (Ian?? I think that might of been his name) that kindly asked me to remove the shirts. I am not complaining though, I was expecting it sooner or later. I was very impressed with HOW they asked me to remove them though. My experience on other games for such a thing is that any other service would have just removed them with no explaination. At least this time I was asked nicely and even given an explanation why I had to do so.

Hey but at least Brooklyn is getting The Nets.

Yankees picking up A-Rod is the sickest thing i've ever heard. $195,000,000.00 payroll????? The have the resources to absord 70,000,000.00 in revenue sharing and luxury taxes???? THAT IS INSANE.

Eh, it's all about the money, even though it's supposed to be a game; all of us in SL should know that by now.

I sure as heck hope Rodriguez is giving a big chunk of cash to charity every year, it's the absolute least he could do.
