MLB won't consider game at Grand Teton National Park, says was only conducting initial due diligence

Major League Baseball has announced it will not consider staging a game in Grand Teton National Park, clarifying that its previous actions were merely part of initial due diligence.

The decision follows reports that MLB had contacted the White House about holding a game at the western Wyoming park, a proposal that drew sharp backlash and dismay from local residents and conservation groups.
