Too bad it didn't hit the coach in the head. He needs to have some sense knocked into him.
Oh wait, what was the coach doing near home to be close enough to get hit? Shouldn't he have stayed in the dugout or the coach's box, right? Sue the umpire who neglected to enforce the rules that put the coach in harm's way!
And what about the helmet manufacturer? Surely it should be held liable for constructing a helmet that can tear someone's Achilles!
The league should be sued as well for sustaining an environment that allows players to throw helmets in celebration.
Watch out, Williamsport! We'll figure out a way to come after you, too. Perhaps we can go after a no-chinstrap rule...
