Jay-Z and a business partner are suing slugger David Ortiz, claiming the Boston Red Sox star named his Dominican nightclub after the mogul's chain of 40/40 clubs. The lawsuit, filed Thursday in Manhattan Federal Court, accuses Ortiz of naming his Santo Domingo club Forty-Forty in the hopes of trading in on the rap star's fame.

That is what you get for picking a dumb name like 40/40.

How can you sue someone in NY for your business in the Dominican Republic? A place the courts have no authority over?

Furthermore, how does David Ortiz name his club 40/40 when he had no chance to steal 40 bases. He couldn't hit 40HRs either if his life depended on it.

One 40 in each hand. This is David Ortiz. Try to keep up.
