Low practical risk, but not zero. Main exposure is a DMCA takedown request from MLB or the rights holder.
Options if we want to eliminate the risk
- Replace with a royalty-free crowd cheer or "O's!" chant sound effect
- Replace with a CC0 or licensed clip from Freesound or similar
- Remove audio entirely (confetti-only Easter egg)
Leaving as-is for now pending a decision.
