Frinzi seeks Milwaukee Braves name revocation by state
Wisconsin Attorney General Bronson La Follette rejected a bid by Dominic Frinzi to revoke the Milwaukee Braves permit over the team name change to Atlanta Braves. Frinzi, who has filed Atlanta Braves Inc. papers in Wisconsin, argued the change could violate state law. La Follette said the move is frivolous and noted the Braves must file a name amendment, which state officials expect to deny, potentially prompting further action.
