Mickey Mantle's widow has sued (scroll down) a maker of baseball bats, claiming the company made a limited edition bat bearing the ex-Yankee's name and likeness without her permission. The suit alleges trademark violations and asks for $75,000.
A man in Arkansas was arrested for drunken cycling (the actual charge was for public intoxication). No word on whether his Schwinn will be taken away.
Finally, bad news for the pseudo-monopoly Clear Channel. A federal jury has assessed damages of $90 million against the company, finding that it engaged in unfair practices against a small Chicago promoter in a battle over holding Supercross motorcycle races. From the story: "Some analysts suggested that the case would invite closer scrutiny of the company's conduct, and potentially more litigation from competitors." Clear Channel plans to appeal the ruling.
