*[[:Image:Padres-logo.gif]] and [[:Image:Dodgerslogo.gif]] are copyrighted property of their respective organizations. Unless someone has obtained written permission from both the teams and Major League Baseball, these images would constitute copyright violations.

::As an aside, these really aren't copyright violations, but trademark infringement. [[User:Vudujava|vudu]] 00:56, 23 Sep 2003 (UTC)
