You can own copyright on a dataset of facts.

A map is a dataset of facts. The MLB stats are a dataset of facts.

Copyright doesn't mean that you can't create a work that is similar based on the same facts, it just means that to do so you can't copy the original work.

You can create a new map of the streets, but you can't just do so by copying an existing map (with the exception of certain licenses and so on).
