Recently, I tried to sign up for the PressBox at MLB.com. I wasn't exactly trying to scam press passes for playoff games or the World Series. Basically, I wanted to get access to images, so I can continue to make this site visually appealing. Below is the response I received:

--Dear Steve:

In other words: take a hike. That's fine by me. Many of the goodies PressBox offers (such as press releases, game notes, and stats) are readily available on the Web anyway. As far as pictures go, I'll make do, thanks!
