Unless I don't know what the MPAA is.
The Yankees COULD go around barnstormin if they wanted kind of like the Harlem Globetrotters do in basketball.

It really wouldnt be a smart business decision at this point but if the league got too harsh with them they certainly COULD do it.

The league cant force them to to do anything. It would be like you going out and buying a McDonalds franchise. As long as you are using their their supplies and advertising you have to follow their rules. If you decided to get rid of their franchise label and start your own fast food chain you can do whatever you want.
