They're suing Chicago little leagues for using team names in common with MLB teams. Not logos; just the names; MLB is insisting they own the idea of a baseball team named, for example, the Giants, or Tigers, and that in order to use those names the little leagues must buy their uniforms from MLB's much more expensive provider. Gee, thanks.
Fortunately, Techdirt and Stephen Colbert are on the case.
