There a still-unresolved lawsuit around here stemming from a plate that had a corner sticking up. Not that anyone got hurt by the plate, but a runner halfway home tore up his knee when he tried to reverse direction and retreat to 3B.

He claims that on the way home, he remembered that the plate had a corner sticking up and, not wanting to be injured by the defective plate, tried to turn around and slipped on the wet grass.
