Mets fan sues over broken bat injury

there's a notice on the back of his ticket...

What a fricking moron. Don't go to the game if you don't want to get hit with the bat.

Why is he suing THREE YEARS LATER?

At a minor league game in Corpus Christi, Mike Moustakas hit a fan with a broken bat, and the same shite is going on down here. The fan is suing both teams, and the player.

The back of the ticket has warnings, signs in the stadium are posted, and it is warned over a loudspeaker.

Then the douche gets on the local news, waves the bat around (that Moustakas LET him keep) and claims it's a deadly weapon.

So if this flies, does it mean I can go to the dude's office, fall on a pen and get stabbed, and say that is a deadly weapon?

Because he's a money hungry piece of shite. People act like the entire world should be bubble wrapped. Everything you do has inherit risk.

I meant why did he wait so long.

He is still scared of baseball and can not leave home

Damnit, man, this shite pisses me off to no end. And the person that pisses me off the most is the fricking plaintiff's attorney who probably witnessed the shite go down, and followed this dude around for 3 years encouraging him to sue.

I'm no lawyer, but this case should be cut and dry as long as the Mets and MLB have copies of tickets from that game and can prove that the disclaimer was printed on the back. This dude should get nothing out of this case, but the wonderful civil legal process in this country will probably make it cheaper for MLB to settle with the pair of douchebags.

Won't be though. Take it from someone's mom and dad who are in the insurance business. It is so stacked in the plaintiff's favor. They fill the box with the stupidest POS's known to man, and then rail on the insurance companies. If you've ever noticed, there are no insurance commercials talking about how certain lawyers are ambulance chasers and stuff, because they get their shite sued AND its illegal.

the fine print specifically says "flying bats" and says that the ticket holder is responsible for his own injuries.

There are ways around disclaimers like this, as there should be in some cases. For instance, if you park in a parking garage, most tickets will say "not responsible for damage to your car from theft, fire, etc." However, that technically gives the parking garage owners/workers to steal from or set fire to your car. Obviously, they don't have that right. Maybe that disclaimer on MLB tickets is in the same class as that disclaimer.

The biggest issue I have about things like this is that no one intentionally or even negligently caused this guy's injuries. If anyone was negligent, it was the guy sitting in the box seats, not noticing that a piece of bat was heading towards his head (sorry, if he was really watching the game, he would have noticed the broken bat more than the fly ball that came off that broken bat). Sometimes, shite happens. People are so lawsuit happy nowadays, mainly because of the abundance of lawyers running around telling everyone to sue.

No way. I can walk across the street and not notice a van coming my way (that's why we intentionally look both ways before crossing the street); certainly a guy can fail to notice chunk of wood coming from the 3-o'clock position.
