I tend to agree with the position of the fantasy leagues in this case. I would think that since there is no author of a statistic, it is a mere measurement, a figure, that it could not be protected. It's like trying to protect the number 7 or something like that. I guess the MLB might take the position that it is a collection of figures they are trying to protect, the compilation of data. But even that seems to me to be pretty thin. It's not like it's an original work or anything, just a collection of numbers.
