Weird and Wacky Wednesday: “Minnesota Twins win domain name battle from Miller Twins”
The Minnesota Twins finally own Twins.com after 25 years of battling with twin brothers Durland and Darvin Miller. The Millers registered the domain name in 1995, three years before the league claimed MajorLeagueBaseball.com and five years before the league registered MLB.com. MLB and the Millers have had legal tussles over the domain name for years, but it seems the twins finally decided to sell the domain using a third-party broker to hash out an undisclosed price. That leaves only Giants.com (which is owned by the New York NFL team) and Rays.com (which is owned by a Seattle seafood restaurant called Ray’s Boathouse) as the ones MLB doesn’t own.
