It is sad that they are removing the emblem, probably under pressure from some nanny group.

Could it be MLB and their whole no tobacco policy?

Probably spot on, but it may be a sign of even more craven cowardice, fear of negative nanny group reaction and pressure.

On another thread on another (non-cigar) site, I called them pussies. I know we can't flame people here on CW, so I won't call them pussies here.

Baseball has an anti-tobacco policy in force? Wow.

On one hand they'll point the boney finger of indignation at smokers and with the other hand reap in thousands of dollars from gouging fans at in stadia cigar bars.

There's one in Tampa Bay and Camacho sponsors one in Detroit. I'm pretty sure there's one also in Pittsburgh too.

to MLB!
