The case may have merit against the field owners themselves. What ruleset were you using ... some organizations pay for lawsuit insurance for just this kind of nonsense. Also - check the league bylaws. Both of the places I work have players sign waivers early on that specifically excludes umpires, field crew, managers, and players from liability.
