Yankees fan sues for $10M after Jose Ramirez's bat causes brain injury

torontosun.com

A Yankees fan is suing the team for US$10 million after being struck by Jose Ramirez's bat during a June 2 game, alleging she suffered a traumatic brain injury. Duluc, 37, was in the fourth row behind home plate. Her lawsuit says adjacent protective netting was lower, leaving an opening for the bat, and that the impact caused lasting cognitive and balance problems. The suit faces a tough hurdle: the “Baseball Rule,” a century-old doctrine generally shielding teams from liability for foul balls and bats. Similar Yankees injury lawsuits have been dismissed.
