Parent comment should be at the top of this submission. The response from MLB about "our CI creating randomly generated GA codes" is kind of ridiculous, when the truth is someone there did an excessive cut and paste from someone else's JS.

Wait, why do /you/ feel like a jackass?

Because he included his google analytics code in the plugin that he made available to the world.

He did not. It was only placed on his demo site and the guys at MLB just copied that site's code instead of using the released plugin.

I guess you released a little too much, generally you want to remove your GA code and replace it with a placeholder like: '<insert GA code here>'...

He did not release the Analytics code as part of the plugin, it was only placed on his demo site. MLB.com copied code from the demo site instead of downloading the plugin itself.

It's the internet. Copy+paste für immer. Get over it.
