@Easy_Duhz_It__PSN We aren’t talking about active players who are part of the players association. We are talking about legends.
I know. You were talking about Barry Bonds.
-
@Easy_Duhz_It__PSN Then why is the players association relevant? If they can use Jim Abbott’s name without paying him for his likeness, why can’t they use Barry Bonds’ name in their record screen? Neither player is active.
-
@GoozeFn_PSN I may be wrong but I think because Bonds does not allow his. Abbott I would assume gave his permission. I feel like not all legends allow their image and likeness but we only talk about Bonds because he is the most talked about in that regard.

Retired players are eligible to receive a pension under the MLBPA, which i would assume Abbott is. Anyone still in the MLBPA, active or retired, technically doesnt own the rights to their name. When Bonds left, that was part of the deal. He owns his name and likeness rights.
