Major League Baseball’s players union on Monday asked a Fulton County judge to prohibit the release of records on performance-enhancing drugs, which plaintiff’s lawyers want to use in a case involving a girl struck by a foul ball.

Disclosing such documents would violate confidentiality agreements the players worked out with the league in their collective bargaining agreement and would compromise the testing program, a lawyer for the Major League Baseball Players Association told State Court Judge Patsy Porter.
