Chris Dodd's campaign has been forced to cancel their baseball promotion, in which small donors would be entered in a drawing to attend a Red Sox game with the candidate in exchange for a contribution of $20.04 — in honor of the most recent year in which the team won the World Series.

Legally, a ticket is not the property of the holder, but is instead a license issued under certain conditions by Major League Baseball. As such, only MLB can approve a ticket promotion, and they have now asked Dodd's campaign to stop this politically-related giveaway.
