Yankees send a cease-and-desist letter to blog for using "Yankees" in its name
Now I'm particularly glad we didn't pick "Ranger Express" for the name of this blog.

Seems very very petty honestly
Really I think it does more to make the people sending the letter look small and sorta stupid then anything else.
What do voluntary mean?
The Yankees truly are the evil empire.
Alienating their most hardcore fans, purely for financial reasons.
May they burn in hell.

Just to be clear
You’re NOT a fan, right?

They're gonna start suing Civil War re-enacters next.

can they really keep someone from using the word "yankee" in a domain name??
I dont believe that the New York Yankees come up with the word “Yankee” did they??
Elvis has "shook up" Arlington!!
I'm not a lawyer
but I think it comes with intent. If it had the word “yankee” in it and all it talked about was northerner’s and nothing related to baseball it probably wouldn’t be a big deal.

yes, but they still don't have ownership of the word
or how it is used
A baseball game is simply a nervous breakdown divided into nine innings.

and in any other manner that would cause consumer confusion, dilution of the MLB Marks, or imply any sponsorship or endorsement of your Website or its contents by any MLB Entity.

The issue is with the whole domain name
“TheYankeeUniverse” is close to a trademark they applied for in 2005 and established in 2007 for a charity they run.
If it were TheYankeeWorld or TheYankeeGalaxy, I don’t believe they would have run into trouble unless the Yankees applied for those trademarks, also.
Though someone else in the comments said that they went after the guys who owned Yankees.com and won…..

this is pretty pathetic
I wonder if they’d actually win a lawsuit if it continued?

Do you think RG would send a cease and desist if
this site was changed to

According to "unnamed sources", it's reported that Galloway would take a pass
as long as you leave joseywales.com alone.

It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone. You count on it, rely on it to buffer the passage of time, to keep the memory of sunshine and high skies alive, and then just when the days are all twilight, when you need it most, it stops.
