After reading your editorial about the owners of the big-league baseball teams charging $6 per uniform for the Little League to use their name, I feel disgustingly sick. You were exactly right in calling it greed. I hope Congress and the Senate will adopt legislation to break the monopoly.
I grew up playing in a league, and we used a big team's name.
The public should boycott all Major League games to break this sad affair.
Baseball is an American pastime and I hate to see it ruined by the players and owners in the Major League.
