The 2-year-old girl who was struck by a foul ball at Minute Maid Park on May 29 suffered a skull fracture and had a seizure, a spokesperson for the family said in a release issued Wednesday. The girl also had subdural bleeding, brain contusions, brain edema and an abnormal electroencephalogram, and is on medication to prevent further seizures.
The family has retained attorney Richard Mithoff to advise about the incident, according to the release. No lawsuit has been filed, but Mithoff detailed the injuries in a letter to the Houston Astros organization advising it that he and family attorney Steve Polotko had been retained.
>Suing because you're a shitty parent on your cell phone
This shit is happening because nobody is paying attention.
Blake Collins
how about don't take a fucking 2 year old to a baseball game?
Cooper Collins
womp womp
Adrian Walker
Why don't we eliminate stadiums and have everyone stay at home and watch on VR instead? jesus fucking christ, this is why I watch golf now, no rigging, no refs, no problems, been around since 1500 and hasn't changed much
Noah Diaz
>takes 2 year old to game >buys seats in left field foul territory

Julian Cooper

>Suing because your a shitty parent on your cell phone Even if he wasnt on his phone,you think he would have stopped a ball thats going fast enough to fracture skulls?
Levi Sanders
Kill yourself
Levi Cox
Three things going wrong here 1. Taking your 2 year old daughter to a game and getting seats in foul territory 2. Drinking at a game and/or using your phone 3. Blaming the stadium Sad situation but at the same time MLB already put netting everywhere.
Ethan Price
stfu bootlicker, they are a multi billion organization, they can afford their overpaid fatsos. surely they can afford to pay the family. they should fucking sue the shit out of them.
Julian Barnes
bait
William Miller
Fuck atleast take the ball for your kid
Benjamin Murphy
hope all baseball fans die
kill them off early tbqh
Jose White
Pretty much. Every other person dicking around on their phone or picking at the food the person they came with ordered.
Connor Williams
I've seen people stop those balls with their bare hands. If you a half decent parent you should at least block it
Charles Barnes
This. A cricket ball can kill you and only idiots bring babies to the game. Same with the hurling here, the sliotar (hurling ball) is basically the same as a baseball and people do not bring babies along. It's selfish of the parents that they would risk their children's safety for their own pleasure.
Hudson Butler
underrated post
Christian Reyes
if anything the kid should sue her parents
Angel Thomas
>2. Drinking at a game and/or using your phone why fucking go if you cant do this?
Nathan Powell
this is fine if you don't have to take care of a fucking 2 years old though
Jeremiah Hall
>be american >go to stadium >get shot (with a ball)
Logan Wright
Why even have a kid if you cant use them to block balls
Ryder Martinez
>get shot with bullet line drive TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALLGAME~
Henry Sanders
and thanks to the DEMOCRATS they can!
Gabriel Foster
>mfw my dad broke his shoulder to shield me once in a fall when i was a little baby feels good knowing my parents gave a fuck, gonna watch US dab on panama later with him
Noah Gray
Soon they'll have nets at stadiums like behind the field goals in NFL
Asher Sanders
but who was ball?
Anthony Robinson
I mean, you see people move when balls are fouled straight back. Those people have no time at all to react, but they do, because it takes no time at all.
Juan Evans
>one less boreball retard Based foul ball
Nicholas Perez
Lol
Leo Wilson
Those nets were to stop fans from stealing balls
Luke Anderson
This is America, lad. They'll sue anyone near them with money and get paid just to go away.
Liam Barnes
This. This 'sport' needs to die
Christopher Morales
yeah i know that , but who could they sue for that one thats what i Wonder , my best bet is the stadium for not having net
Alexander Brooks
it's hard to care, people need to be on guard attending baseball/hockey games. should be common knowledge but there's lots of retards out there
William Ross
even if the retard parents weren't paying attention, I feel like at least one person in the area would shout "heads up" to get people to fucking look up for a second, how the fuck is this even a problem
Aaron Price
fuck baseball, glad that boomer garbage will die in our lifetime
Luis Clark
fuck off corporate bootlicking faggot
Jayden Rogers
Hope MLB gets sued to oblivion.
Owen Adams
That's what I mean, they could literally sue anyone and probably get some money from them. They could sue the MLB They could sue all the joint owners of the stadium. They could sue the teams that were playing. They could sue the owners of the teams, personally. It won't have to make much rational sense.
Carson Nguyen
No webm?
William Diaz
Take your medicine kiddo. What I said was a factual statement with no ulterior implications.
Carson Long
and how would saying "heads up" to a 100+ mph line drive stop anything, you mongoloid?
so god damn funny thaat for some reason baseball is so apprehensive to putting nets up around the entire first the third base lines like they have behind home plate.
Zachary Walker
Why even let people in the stadium at all? We should all be required to stay in the safety of our own homes to watch games.
Aaron Phillips
rock hard baseballs scorching in at 100+ mph into groups of people being very dangerous isnt rocket appliances
Noah Carter
takes away from the immersion of the game and interaction. I'm tired of safetycucks like you ruining anything interesting for millions because of lottery odd type events. anyone with a god damn bit of intelligence about baseball knows that can happen and accepts that as part of the deal. and nets aren't even the best way to go for either safety or economical reasons, it's NHL style plexiglass, but you don't actually care enough to look into it, it's really just about you stroking your ego because you lack moral agency in your day to day life and want assauge that by enforces measures on other people for which you will not take any part in
Logan Lee
There is plenty of time for even a mouth-breathing retard like yourself to react properly to a ball hit at that speed if you were seated where they were. You would, of course, have to be paying attention. What those people did was retarded, and unfortunately their daughter paid the price.
>t. parent of infant >t. braves game frequenter >t. 100 section sitter >t. not a fucking idiot when going to a god damn sports game
Gavin Thompson
>mouth-breathing retard fuck your ableist slurs you biggot
Landon Wilson
its not like suing for medical expenses and damages to quality of life isn't uncommon. if these multi-millionaire players and organizations were really as devastated as they pretend to be on national TV, they'd offer to pay without having to be sued.
Isaiah Ward
This, you should be able to bring kids to a ballgame no matter what in [current year], it's just a matter of sitting in seats where they won't fucking die
