League-wide merchandising/licensing — If a video game has the Pirates, if a Cutch jersey is sold in Idaho, the Pirates will get a cut of that MLB’s Investment Portfolio — When the Expos were owned by MLB, then sold to the Lerner family to become the Washington Nationals, the profit from the sale (about $330M profit) was parked into a hedge fund in 2006.
