Woman sues New York Yankees for $10 million after bat hits her head at Yankee Stadium

A healthcare executive is suing the New York Yankees for $10 million after a bat struck her head at Yankee Stadium, causing a traumatic brain injury. Stephanie Duluc, 37, says she sat in the fourth row behind home plate on June 2 when Cleveland Guardians third baseman Jose Ramirez's bat flew into the stands. Her lawsuit claims the protective netting was lower there than in adjacent sections, leaving an unprotected gap. The case may hinge on baseball's century-old rule that fans assume risks like thrown bats, though courts require adequate protection in high-risk areas like behind home plate.
