The mind boggles why they don’t just extend the net the whole way along the foul line, average ball leaves the bat at 110 mph, that ball is heavier than a sliotar, this incident could change the safety nets at all stadiums now,
@Roy Ska Butler: yeah it’s the American game and in such a lawsuit culture the only way to solve it is putting in protection .
@Limón Madrugada: I read somewhere that there is a ballpark clause, where the grounds can not be sued as you know the risks going. Something stupid like that
@Eoin Byrne: where there is a lawyer there is a way , the mother could sue the father or whoever brought her there . The poor girl didn’t sign away her safety herself she’s underage .
@Limón Madrugada: this is totally different, it’s not like it’s an unsupervised swing we are talking about
There we go, A girl got hit by a ball. Headline stuff.
@Barry Teehan:
