The years-long battle between Major League Baseball clubs the Baltimore Orioles and Washington Nationals over television rights fees paid by regional sports network Mid-Atlantic Sports Network (MASN) is being heard at the New York Supreme Court.
Lawyers for the network, which the Orioles own a controlling stake in, and the Nationals appeared before the New York Court of Appeals on Tuesday as they seek a resolution on $100m (€94.5m) in disputed rights fees.
