MLB teams typically charter their own planes with major airlines. For instance, former Los Angeles Angels outfielder Tommy Murphy told the Charlotte Sun in 2007 that the Angels have their own charter plane with Delta and that flight attendants wear Angels' colors on the flight. Other teams, such as the Texas Rangers, have their own planes, to cut down on time spent at the airport.[Minnesota's new eco-friendly outdoor field features 110,000 feet of heated grass]

No, it is striking out with bases loaded in the bottom of the 9th. MLB uses the captive audience of paying customers to sell carbon trading, the aura and time of elite baseball players to burnish an entrenched carbon trading political pressure group, NRDC. All with the pitch of being a good person who cares about the planet, children, animals, and other things-which actually are good causes and should never be confused with global warming and carbon trading scams. MLB is a legal monopoly, gets money from the government, and does not care about fans. So no surprise.
