A Michigan man and lifelong Cubs fan has filed his second lawsuit against the team, alleging that the Major League Baseball organization essentially stole his decades-old idea for commemorative trinkets that were sold — for $200 a piece — after the team won the World Series in 2016.
The suit was filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Chicago on behalf of Daniel Fox.
Fox alleges that in 1984, as the Cubs were closing in on a National League East crown, he came up with the idea for commemorative souvenir to mark team’s success.
“In its finished form, the Fox Commemorative is a five-by-seven-inch rectangular sculpture based on Wrigley Field’s ivy-covered walls,” the latest lawsuit states.
