The Legal Dugout: Baseball’s Intellectual Property All Stars

A baseball game is 90 feet between bases and a lifetime of stories in the box score, but the biggest action often happens off the field. We’re looking at the invisible game that keeps baseball’s culture and business running: intellectual property law. From broadcast rights to team branding, we connect the dots between trademarks, patents, copyright, and licensing, and we show how those tools can protect creativity without locking up the sport itself.

We start with sports data and two court decisions that quietly shaped modern fandom. MLB v Motorola draws a hard line between a copyrighted broadcast and the unownable facts of the game, helping make live score apps and real time updates possible. Then CBC v MLBAM tackles fantasy baseball and the right of publicity, explaining why player names and statistics can be used as part of public sports conversation when there’s no false endorsement. If you’ve ever checked a score on your phone or built a fantasy roster, these rulings helped set the rules of the road.

From there we zoom out to the products and symbols fans carry everywhere. Trading cards reveal a stack of licensing layers, from player likeness rights to team trademarks to copyrighted photography. The Padres’ Swinging Friar shows why mascots and logos are serious trademark assets, while Louisville Slugger highlights how patents reward the small design changes that can matter in performance. We also talk about baseball storytelling through film, including A League of Their Own, and how copyright and licensing can preserve cultural memory. Finally, we bring it into the sports betting era, where “official” data feeds become valuable through contracts and carefully built data systems.

WBC Magic And The Invisible Game

Artemisa 0:00

Baseball fans, statistics lovers, and people who believe that a perfect day includes sunshine, a glove, and a hot dog that may or may not be legally classified as food. Welcome back. Today the baseball world is electric. Flags are flying, stadiums are full, and millions of fans are watching the final of the World Baseball Classic happening today, March 17th. It is one of those rare moments in sports when the entire baseball planet seems to pause at the same time. From Tokyo to Santo Domingo, from Mexico City to Miami, people are watching the same diamond, the same pitcher, the same swing that could decide the championship. This tournament has become one of the most joyful celebrations of the sport. What makes it so special is not only the competition, but the culture. Each team brings its own rhythm, its own traditions, its own way of celebrating a hit or surviving a tenths, ninth inning. Some dugouts dance, others stay calm and focused, and somewhere a manager is calculating probabilities. At its heart, the world baseball classic reminds us that baseball is a universal language. A fastball does not need translation. A home run does not need subtitles. When a crowd rises as the ball climbs into the night sky, everyone understands the same thing. Something magical just happened. But today, we are not just watching the ball. We are also looking at the invisible game around it. Behind every swing, every team logo, every jersey sold outside a stadium, and every statistic that appears on your phone screen. There's a sophisticated system of intellectual property quietly keeping the entire ecosystem running smoothly. Baseball is not only a sport, it is a masterclass in how creativity, innovation, and legal frameworks can work together to create a global cultural phenomenon. So today we step into the legal dugout. Not to argue strikes and balls, but to look at how intellectual property help protect the stories, technologies, and identities that make baseball what it is. And I promise something important. There will be no crying in baseball. But there might be a little joyful cheering for good intellectual property strategy.

Announcer 2:26

You are listening to Intangibilia, the podcast of Intangible Law. Plain talk about intellectual property. Please welcome your host, Leticia Caminero.

Why Baseball Data Is IP

Leticia AI 2:38

Hello everyone, and welcome back to Intangibilia. I am Leticia Caminero, an intellectual property lawyer and storyteller. There is something deeply satisfying about the language of the game: a batting average, a strikeout record, the quiet suspense of a full count. Baseball statistics do not just measure performance, they tell stories about patience, persistence, and the unpredictable beauty of sport.

Artemisa 3:03

Baseball has always fascinated historians, mathematicians, and storytellers for exactly that reason. The sport produces narratives through numbers. A single line in a box score can describe an entire drama that unfolded across nine innings. But what is equally fascinating is how the business of baseball relies on intellectual property to keep those stories alive and thriving.

Leticia AI 3:29

From the earliest days of professional leagues to the massive global tournaments we see today, baseball has evolved alongside technology, media, and innovation. Each of those developments required new legal frameworks. Broadcasting rights had to be defined, merchandising systems had to be organized, player identities had to be licensed, equipment designs had to be protected. Intellectual property became the quiet architecture behind the sport's growth. Today we are going to explore that architecture together, not through legal textbooks, but through stories. Stories about disputes, inventions, creative industries, and the surprising ways intellectual property shows up in the baseball world.

Artemisa 4:14

And I am Arta Misa, your AI co-host, legal enthusiast, and someone who has spent the last week trying to understand why a sport can pause for several minutes while someone adjusts their batting gloves.

Leticia AI 4:31

This is one of the great mysteries of baseball. The game moves at two speeds. Either everything happens in a split second, or absolutely nothing happens while everyone contemplates the meaning of life between pitches.

Artemisa 4:44

Yet somehow this rhythm is part of the charm. Baseball gives us space to think. It gives commentators time to tell stories. It gives fans time to debate statistics with the seriousness of international diplomacy.

Leticia AI 5:00

And those statistics, by the way, are not just numbers. They are intellectual assets. Every statistic represents an event captured, recorded, and interpreted through technology. Every data point feeds media coverage, fantasy leagues, analytics companies, and entire industries built around sports information.

Artemisa 5:24

That is why baseball provides such a fascinating lens for intellectual property. Few sports produce as much information, as many cultural artifacts, and as many creative products as baseball. Think about everything connected to the game: trading cards, broadcast graphics, stadium architecture, equipment design, team mascots, film adaptations, video games.

Leticia AI 5:52

All of those elements involve creativity, and creativity in turn invites intellectual property protection. So today we are not just looking at baseball as a sport. We are looking at baseball as an ecosystem of ideas. And the beautiful thing about intellectual property in this context is that it does not limit the game. It supports it. It allows innovators to invest in better technology, it allows artists to design stronger brands, it allows storytellers to share history, and it allows leagues to build sustainable systems that keep the sport growing.

Artemisa 6:26

That is exactly right. One of the most uplifting aspects of intellectual property is that it recognizes the value of human creativity. It acknowledges that ideas, designs, and innovations deserve protection so they can continue contributing to society.

Leticia AI 6:44

In sports, this protection becomes especially important because the industry combines so many creative disciplines. Engineering, media production, graphic design, storytelling, performance, and data science all converge around the same field.

Artemisa 7:01

Baseball may appear simple when viewed from the stands. A pitcher throws the ball, a batter swings, the crowd reacts.

Leticia AI 7:10

But behind that, simplicity is an extraordinary network of innovation. Camera systems capture ultra-slow motion replays. Sensors measure spin rates and launch angles. Designers develop new fabrics for uniforms. Data analysts transform raw numbers into predictive models. Intellectual property helps ensure that each of these contributions can be recognized and sustained.

Artemisa 7:37

So when we talk about trademarks, patents, licensing agreements, and copyrights in this episode, we are not just talking about legal tools. We are talking about the mechanisms that allow creativity and innovation to flourish in the sports world.

AI Tools Disclaimer And Ground Rules

Leticia AI 7:52

And that in many ways is the most exciting part of the story. Before we dive into the cases, there is one more important note for our listeners.

Artemisa 8:01

This podcast was created with the assistance of artificial intelligence tools. Letitia's voice in this recording is an AI-generated version of her real voice, and I am a fully AI-generated co-host designed to assist with storytelling and commentary.

Leticia AI 8:17

Our goal is to make complex legal ideas more accessible and enjoyable to explore. However, this episode is intended for educational and entertainment purposes only. It does not constitute legal advice, and listening to this podcast does not create an attorney-client relationship.

Artemisa 8:34

Although, if a baseball team ever decides to hire intellectual property commentators for the seventh inning stretch, we would be very happy to audition.

Leticia AI 8:45

In the meantime, let us step onto the field of baseball law, where the pitches come fast, the arguments come carefully crafted, and occasionally a brilliant legal strategy hits a home run.

MLB v Motorola And Real Time Scores

Artemisa 8:56

Let us begin with a case from 1997 that changed how modern sports information works and helped shape the entire digital sports ecosystem we know today.

Leticia AI 9:07

The dispute involved Major League Baseball and Motorola, the electronics company. At the time, mobile technology looked very different from today. Smartphones did not exist yet, and the internet was still finding its place in everyday life. But sports fans were already hungry for one thing that has never changed: real-time updates.

Artemisa 9:27

Motorola created a handheld page or device called Sports Tracks. Subscribers could receive live updates about baseball games while they were happening. These updates included scores, inning developments, and short descriptions of plays.

Leticia AI 9:43

For fans, it was revolutionary. Imagine being at work, in a subway, or traveling, and still knowing exactly what was happening in the bottom of the ninth inning.

Artemisa 9:52

However, Major League Baseball saw the situation differently. The league argued that Motorola was essentially building a business using the information generated by MLB Games without permission. In their view, the league invested enormous resources into organizing games, maintaining stadiums, employing official scores, coordinating broadcasts, and collecting statistical data.

Leticia AI 10:18

MLB's legal argument relied on a doctrine called hot news misappropriation. This concept comes from an early 20th century case and suggests that time-sensitive information gathered through significant effort should not be freely copied by competitors who did not make that investment.

Artemisa 10:36

From MLB's perspective, the real-time game information was a valuable asset. They argued that Motorola was taking that asset and redistributing it commercially.

Leticia AI 10:48

Motorola responded with a beautifully simple argument that baseball fans could understand immediately.

Artemisa 10:54

They said the league could certainly own the broadcast of the game, the television production, the commentary, the graphics, and the audiovisual experience.

Leticia AI 11:04

But the facts of the game itself were different.

Artemisa 11:06

If a batter hits a home run in the seventh inning, that event is a fact about reality. Anyone present at the stadium could observe it. Anyone listening to a radio broadcast could report it.

Leticia AI 11:19

Motorola argued that facts cannot be owned as intellectual property. The case reached the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, which issued its decision in 1997. The court ultimately ruled in favor of Motorola. The judges held that while MLB could protect the broadcast of the game through copyright, the factual information produced during the game, such as scores and statistics, could not be monopolized. This decision had enormous implications.

Artemisa 11:47

It confirmed that sports scores and basic statistics belonged to the shared informational landscape of sports culture. News organizations, analysts, and technology companies could report those facts without needing licenses from leagues, which means that every sports app on your phone today, every scoreboard update, every fantasy league statistic, and every live sports notification owes something to this case. Without that ruling, the digital sports media landscape could look very different.

Fantasy Baseball And Publicity Rights

Leticia AI 12:18

Instead of limiting innovation, the decision allowed an entire ecosystem to flourish around sports data. Analytics platforms, fantasy sports leagues, live score apps, and betting services all rely on the principle that game results are part of the public domain of sports information. It is a beautiful example of how law can strike a balance. The broadcast production remains protected, but the core facts of the game remain accessible for everyone to build upon.

Artemisa 12:50

Our second case takes us into the world of fantasy sports, and it happened a decade later in 2007. By the early 2000s, fantasy baseball had become an incredibly popular way for fans to engage with the sport. Instead of simply watching games, fans could build their own imaginary teams composed of real players and compete against friends based on player performance.

Leticia AI 13:13

These games relied entirely on real statistics. Home runs, stolen bases, strikeouts, batting averages, every number mattered. One company, CBC Distribution and Marketing, operated a fantasy baseball platform that used the names and statistics of Major League Baseball players. However, MLB's digital subsidiary, Major League Baseball Advanced Media, believed this required permission.

Artemisa 13:41

The league argued that the commercial use of player names and identities violated the player's right of publicity. This legal doctrine allows individuals to control how their identity is used in commercial contexts.

Leticia AI 13:56

In MLB's view, fantasy sports companies were profiting from player identities without compensating the players or the league. On the other side, CBC argued something that resonated strongly with both courts and fans. They said fantasy baseball is essentially a game of statistical storytelling.

Artemisa 14:14

Fans analyze publicly available information, compare player performance, and create competitions based on real-world events that are already widely reported. In other words, fantasy sports were not using player identities in advertising or endorsements. They were using facts about performance in public sporting events.

Leticia AI 14:34

The case eventually reached the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. In 2007, the court ruled in favor of CBC. The judges concluded that the use of player names and statistics in fantasy sports was protected because the information was factual and part of public discourse about sports. The court also emphasized that fantasy sports platforms were not misleading consumers into believing players endorsed the game. More importantly, the ruling reinforced an uplifting principle. Sports statistics are part of a shared cultural conversation. Fans analyze them, debate them, and build communities around them. By allowing that exchange of information to continue freely, the court helped preserve one of the most creative aspects of sports fandom.

Artemisa 15:44

Fantasy leagues transformed spectators into analysts, strategists, and storytellers. And intellectual property law helped maintain the balance between protecting identity and preserving public engagement.

Announcer 16:00

Intangibilia, the podcast of intangible law. Plain tug about intellectual property.

Trading Cards And Licensing Power

Leticia AI 16:20

Children across the country buy small packs of gum that include a printed card featuring their favorite players. The cards contain photographs, player statistics, and team branding.

Artemisa 16:32

One company tops would eventually dominate this industry. But the path to that dominance involved intense competition and strategic licensing agreements.

Leticia AI 16:42

In the early years, multiple companies produced baseball cards. Each company needed permission from players to use their images on the cards. This meant negotiating contracts that granted image rights and commercial use rights.

Artemisa 16:57

Topps pursued a bold strategy. Instead of signing players for short-term agreements, the company began signing exclusive contracts with large numbers of athletes.

Leticia AI 17:08

These agreements granted Topps the exclusive right to print trading cards featuring those players, which meant that if another company wanted to print a card with a famous player, they could not do it legally unless the player had not already signed with Topps.

Artemisa 17:23

Through a series of negotiations and legal disputes with competitors, Topps gradually consolidated its control over the baseball card market. Each card involved several layers of rights. The player's likeness had to be licensed. The team logos were trademarks owned by clubs or leagues. The photographs themselves were copyrighted works. The brand identity of the card company was also protected.

Leticia AI 18:02

It is incredible to think that a small piece of cardboard contained such a complex legal structure, and yet those cards became cultural treasures. Collectors today treat vintage baseball cards as artifacts of sports history. Some rare cards sell for extraordinary prices at auctions.

Artemisa 18:21

More importantly, the baseball card industry demonstrated how intellectual property could support an entire merchandising ecosystem.

Leticia AI 18:29

The licensing model developed by companies like Topps eventually influenced merchandising strategies across professional sports, entertainment, and even video games.

Artemisa 18:38

It is a perfect example of intellectual property enabling creativity, fandom, and economic growth all at the same time.

Leticia AI 18:47

And somewhere out there, someone is still hoping that the dusty shoebox in their attic contains a card worth a small fortune.

Artemisa 19:16

Every sports team has symbols that fans instantly recognize. Colors, logos, mascots, and even certain visual styles become part of a shared cultural language. In baseball, few examples are as charming and distinctive as the swinging friar, the mascot associated with the San Diego Padres.

Leticia AI 19:37

The character first appeared in the early history of the franchise, but its trademark protection became increasingly important starting in the 1980s, when sports merchandising exploded as a global industry.

Artemisa 19:50

At that time, teams realized that their logos were not just decorative elements, they were powerful commercial assets. Fans wanted hats, jackets, pins, posters, and souvenirs displaying the symbols of their favorite teams.

Leticia AI 20:06

The swinging fryer, a smiling cartoon fryer swinging a baseball bat, quickly became one of those symbols. And mascots may look playful, but from a legal perspective, they are extremely valuable intellectual property.

Artemisa 20:20

Because when fans buy merchandise with a mascot on it, they are not just buying fabric or plastic. They are buying a connection to a team, a city, and a shared identity.

Leticia AI 20:32

The Padres registered the swinging friar as a trademark, giving the team exclusive rights to use the symbol in commerce. Over the years, the team has taken action against unauthorized sellers producing merchandise that copied or closely imitated the mascot. These disputes often involve street vendors, online marketplaces, or small businesses producing unofficial hats and shirts.

Artemisa 20:56

Trademark law allows the team to stop uses that could confuse consumers about the origin of merchandise. The goal is not simply control, it is also about protecting the integrity of the brand so that fans know when they are buying official products.

Leticia AI 21:12

There is also something uplifting about that. Trademarks protect symbols that fans genuinely care about. The mascot on a cap might represent childhood memories, family traditions, or a connection to a hometown team.

Artemisa 21:25

And when those symbols are protected, teams can reinvest that revenue into stadiums, youth programs, and the broader baseball communities.

Leticia AI 21:34

So while a smiling friar swinging a bat may look simple, behind it is a sophisticated system of trademark law supporting one of baseball's most recognizable identities.

Patents Behind The Louisville Slugger

Artemisa 21:44

Patent Development and Protection by Louisville Slugger. Innovations dating from the late 19th century and patented improvements throughout the 20th century.

Leticia AI 22:00

Look futuristic. Sometimes it is hiding in something as familiar as a wooden bat. Few names are more iconic in baseball equipment than Louisville Slugger. The brand traces its origins back to 1884 when a young craftsman named John Hillerick crafted a custom bat for a professional player.

Artemisa 22:20

That bat worked remarkably well, and demand quickly grew. Over time, the company developed specialized manufacturing techniques and equipment designs that improved performance and durability.

Leticia AI 22:33

Throughout the 20th century, the company secured a number of patents covering aspects of bat construction.

Artemisa 22:39

These patents addressed features such as the shape of the knob at the base of the handle, methods of turning wood on lathes to achieve optimal balance, and manufacturing processes that ensured consistent weight distribution.

Leticia AI 22:53

Which may sound like small details, but in baseball, small details matter enormously. A few grams of weight difference or a subtle change in balance can influence how a bat moves through the hitting zone.

Artemisa 23:05

Patents allow Louisville Slugger to invest in research and development without fear that competitors would immediately copy those innovations.

Leticia AI 23:23

The bat used by legendary players from Babe Ruth to modern stars often came from this lineage of innovation.

Artemisa 23:31

It is also a wonderful example of how intellectual property supports craftsmanship. A simple object like a bat might appear unchanged for generations, but behind that apparent simplicity there is constant experimentation and improvement. An intellectual property law helps ensure that those improvements can continue. Patents encourage companies to refine designs, test new ideas, and contribute to the evolution of the sport.

Films That Preserve Baseball History

Leticia AI 24:00

In baseball, where the difference between a routine fly ball and a towering home run might be measured in centimeters, those innovations truly matter. Our sixth story moves from stadiums to cinema. In 1992, the film A League of Their Own brought the story of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League to audiences around the world.

Artemisa 24:23

The Real League had existed during World War II between 1943 and 1954, when many male professional players were serving in the military. The league created an opportunity for women athletes to step onto the professional stage. Then Hollywood rediscovered it.

Leticia AI 24:46

The film combined historical research, storytelling, and cultural memory to create a narrative that resonated deeply with audiences. It celebrated athletic talent, teamwork, and the perseverance of women who helped keep professional baseball alive during a difficult period, and it also produced one of the most famous lines in sports cinema.

Artemisa 25:05

There is no crying in baseball.

Leticia AI 25:07

The creation and distribution of the film involved several layers of intellectual property.

Artemisa 25:13

First, the screenplay and film production are protected by copyright, which gives creators exclusive rights to reproduce and distribute the work.

Leticia AI 25:22

Second, the film's title and branding can be protected through trademark law, ensuring that audiences can identify official productions connected to the story. Third, the historical materials related to the league, including photographs and archival footage, involve licensing arrangements with archives and rights holders. What makes this story uplifting is how intellectual property helped revive a piece of sports history. Without those legal frameworks, it would be much harder for filmmakers to invest in telling these stories and bringing them to new generations.

Artemisa 25:56

The film sparked renewed interest in women's baseball, inspired documentaries, academic research, and even a modern television adaptation decades later.

Betting Era Data Licensing Deals

Leticia AI 26:07

It is a wonderful example of how intellectual property does not just protect modern innovation. It can also preserve cultural memory and keep historical stories alive. Licensing expansion after the legalization of sports betting in the United States, 2018 onward. Our final case brings us into the modern digital era.

Artemisa 26:28

In 2018, the United States Supreme Court struck down a federal law that had previously restricted sports betting in most states. As a result, legal sports betting markets expanded rapidly across the country.

Leticia AI 26:41

Companies like DraftKings began offering platforms where fans could place bets on sporting events in real time. This development created a new demand for extremely accurate and fast sports data. Baseball, with its detailed statistics and frequent in-game events, became particularly important in this ecosystem. Every pitch, every strikeout, every run scored can influence a betting market, which means data has to move incredibly quickly and accurately.

Artemisa 27:09

Major League Baseball began developing official data licensing agreements with betting companies. These agreements allow sportsbooks to access highly reliable statistical feeds produced by the league. This model demonstrates how intellectual property and contracts can work together. Even when information itself is not protected by copyright, organizations can still create value through curated data systems, technological platforms, and licensing agreements.

Big Takeaways On IP And Baseball

Leticia AI 28:00

The result is a modern sports economy where data flows from stadiums to broadcasters, analytics companies, fantasy platforms, and betting markets. And all of it begins with the simple moment when a pitcher throws the ball and a batter decides whether to swing. As we step back from these stories, one thing becomes clear. They both reward patience, strategy, and a long-term perspective.

Artemisa 28:32

In baseball, a single swing does not decide the season. Teams think in innings, games, and entire seasons. In intellectual property, innovators think in years and sometimes decades. A patent may take years to develop, a brand may take generations to build, and a creative work can inspire audiences long after its creators imagined it.

Leticia AI 28:57

What we saw today is that intellectual property does not take away from the magic of the game. In many ways, it protects it. It ensures that the creativity surrounding baseball, from equipment design to storytelling, can continue to grow. Another takeaway is that some of the most valuable things in sports are not always the obvious ones.

Artemisa 29:18

You might think the most valuable moment in a baseball game is the home run that clears the fence. But sometimes the real value is the system that captures the statistic, broadcasts the replay, prints the trading card, sells the jersey, and turns that moment into a story remembered for decades.

Leticia AI 29:36

And the truth is that baseball fans have always loved stories. They love debating whether a pitcher should have thrown a slider instead of a fastball. They love arguing about statistics with the seriousness of constitutional scholars. And they absolutely love explaining why their team will win the championship next year, even if that prediction has been repeated for the last 20 years.

Artemisa 30:01

One more uplifting lesson is that intellectual property allows many different creative industries to connect around sports. Engineers improve equipment. Designers create logos. Filmmakers tell stories about players and leagues. Data scientists analyze performance. Writers and journalists capture the drama of every season.

Leticia AI 30:26

All of these contributions become part of the cultural ecosystem of baseball. And intellectual property helps ensure that each contribution can be recognized, protected, and reinvested into future innovation. Which means the next time you watch a baseball game, remember that the sport is not only about the players on the field, there is a whole invisible team behind them.

Artemisa 30:48

Engineers designing bats, artists creating team identities, analysts studying statistics, filmmakers telling stories, lawyers quietly making sure everything stays in bounds.

Leticia AI 31:02

Think of intellectual property as the umpire of innovation. Most of the time you do not notice it, but when it works well, the game flows smoothly. And that is a very comforting idea.

Artemisa 31:14

Because when intellectual property is balanced correctly, creativity continues to flourish. The sport grows, new technologies emerge, new stories are told.

Final Jokes And A Share Request

Leticia AI 31:25

And somewhere, a young fan watching a game today might grow up to invent the next great baseball technology, design the next legendary team logo, or tell the next unforgettable baseball story. Well, friends, our time in the legal dugout is coming to an end. We hope this episode showed that intellectual property and baseball actually have a lot in common.

Artemisa 31:47

Both involve strategy, both require patience, and both occasionally produce moments that make you stand up and shout.

Leticia AI 31:56

And if you learned something new today, then this episode was a bit like a solid base hit. Maybe not a grand slam, but definitely enough to advance the runners. Also, let us take a moment to appreciate one of baseball's greatest qualities.

Artemisa 32:09

It is a sport where people can spend four hours watching a game, eat three hot dogs, drink two sodas, debate 30 statistics, and still say, what a relaxing afternoon.

Leticia AI 32:22

Baseball has a beautiful pace. It gives us time to think, to tell stories, and sometimes to explain intellectual property law between pitches.

Artemisa 32:32

Which might be the only sport where someone can say, hold on, I need to finish explaining trademark doctrine before the next pitch.

Leticia AI 32:40

And somewhere out there, a baseball commentator is currently explaining launch angle statistics with the intensity of a physics professor, which honestly makes baseball the perfect sport for intellectual property conversations.

Artemisa 32:54

Thank you for joining us today on Intangiblaya. Whether you came for the law, the stories, or the baseball jokes, if you enjoyed this episode, share it with someone who loves sports, innovation, or the beautiful intersection of both.

Leticia AI 33:08

Until next time, protect your ideas the way a catcher protects home plate.

Artemisa 33:13

Celebrate creativity the way fans celebrate a walk-off home run.

Leticia AI 33:17

And enjoy the game, Play Ball.
