Parents to sue bat maker over son’s injuries
Good grief:dawnload acdsee 5.0
A New Jersey couple, whose son was struck in the chest with a line drive, is planning to sue the maker of a metal baseball bat used in the game.
Two years ago, Steven Domalewski was pitching when the ball slammed into his chest and stopped his heart. He was resuscitated but now has brain damage and is severely disabled.
The family contends metal baseball bats are inherently unsafe for youth games because the ball comes off them much faster than from wooden bats. The lawsuit will also be filed against Little League Baseball and a sporting goods chain that sold the bat. (Emphasis added.)
If the parents believe, however implausibly, that metal baseball bats are inherently unsafe, why did they let their child play in a game in which one was used? Do mom and dad plan to sue themselves?dawnload acdsee 5.0
Their son suffered a tragedy, and for that they deserve our sympathy. But suing the bat maker is ridiculous.dawnload acdsee 5.0
