That game was a lot of fun. After the pickle martini and the pickle ice cream though, I’ve had to step away from consuming pickles. The real question about the Disney show, though is whether they do pickle juice drinking contests between innings. If they do, I hope the Portland pickles sue them into oblivion.

I do appreciate the irony of how hard Disney cracks down on small businesses without taking the time to check and see if there was already a Pickle baseball team out there!

Interesting trademark twist. Is the lawsuit with Disney just to protect themselves from others that might infringe on their trademark -- a necessary step for future court battles against others? Because it seems that the team benefits from the additional merch sales, and will benefit from a monetary settlement.

From what I've read in the Oregon newspapers, I don't believe they're getting any share of the merch sales from Disney. Given their team culture, I wonder if they would be willing to license the team name out in exchange for a cut of sales.
