I've had discussions with the licensing folks, to see what would be needed. It's not impossible to get permission, but there's a lot of paperwork involved. I never pursued it, because I didn't envision selling enough prints for it to be worth my while.
Hey, at least they talked to you. MLBPA won't return my calls or e-mails.
That situation, and your analogous position WRT baseball, isn't quite the same as street photography - neither of us is taking our photographs in a public place. But the restriction to editorial use is the same - and does not, IMO, extend to selling prints.
This is exactly what I thought. I'm still basically trying to understand how a framed print could count as editorial.
