There was a woman a few years ago who was injured at a Rangers' game I was attending, when the bat flew out of the batter's hands. Using the logic of this lawsuit, she should be able to sue the bat manufactuer for not placing a label on the bat stating that a flying bat can cause serious injury. (Does no one have common sense anymore?) She should also be able to sue the pine tar maker, because, obviously, their product failed completely. She should also be able to sue the player, since he wasn't using either the bat or the pine tar as they were intended. The stadium, for not supplying warning labels on everything in the park, the vendor who had her distracted because he was giving her whatever it was she had just purchased from him, and so on and so on ad nauseum.

In short, accidents happen! No matter how large or how small the accident, we must assume certain risks in life, or else cease living all together.
