Nonsense

One of the applications on the new iPhone Ap store is a reference tool for fans of baseball. Mark Knopper, who is a Detroit Tigers fan, put together an application called Baseball (available on iTunes) which lists stats on most teams from 1880-2007. It is a handy little reference tool that allows you to find individual and team statistics in a flash. Major League Baseball has accused him of violating MLBs trademarks by including the logos from the teams. Note photos of the Ap are all over the web but I chose not to upload one. Knopper has said he will strip the logos out of the ap.

I was one of the people who downloaded the ap and have found it very useful. There is no intent for commercial use here - this is a statistical reference which will enhance fan interest but MLB seems to think they know better.
