MLB Won't Give Me Permission To Describe Game To Friend

MLB Won't Give Me Permission To Describe Game To Friend

Phil Villarreal tries to get express written consent to tell his friend about a random baseball game he watched:

The next morning I shot off an e-mail to MLB with my request and heard back within hours from Valerie Vieira, from the business development department in MLB Advanced Media. She asked me to call her.

I explained my situation to her and asked how to go about getting express written consent. She wanted to know if I was going to blog about the game or do a podcast, and I said no, I just wanted to describe the game to someone while sitting on my living room couch.
