Urge Bug Selig to allow Youth Baseball Leagues to use the MLB team names and logos
Sign Now
As a coach for my son's youth baseball team, I was shocked to hear that Major League Baseball (MLB) charges big licensing fees to youth baseball leagues if they use MLB team names or logos on their kids jerseys. Obviously, these are non-profit, volunteer organizations, so how does the MLB expect these leagues to pay huge licensing fees -- it is a complete abomination!
The MLB should be ashamed for not providing our youth with same opportunity we had as kids imaging we were playing for the "big league" teams in our very own jerseys of the same name. I think this does irrevocable damage to the sport if this continues and is a short-sighted decision in favor of making a buck now, instead of promoting the sport to the next generation of baseball players.
If you feel as disappointed as I do, please sign this petition to urge Bud Selig to reverse this misguided licensing decision and start investing in our youth today!

I cannot believe MLB would even ask the youth baseball organizations of this Country to pay for the use of the logos when the players of MLB are making astronomical amounts of money to play a game. I for one will not ever atten

How about no one show up to the first week of all MLB games, to protest this and maybe they will get the message.
