    I don't agree at all with the suit but those type of bats have been injuring kids for a while now. There is a reason they can't use them in the pro's. You would have a lot of dead pitchers and home runs. It would cure the roid problem though.

    Wow, this happened local to me I'm surprised it's reached national news. I agree that a bunch of lawyers fudged this one up too. Talk about setting precedence on more stupidity. I guess everyone involved was too broke to sue so why not the bat company?

    If they were broke and they played on turf, I'm sure the Liars would have figured out another angle to sue them instead.

    I wasn't commenting on the suit either. I really don't have a dog in the fight, I was simply pointing out that the suit wasn't completely baseless.

    Of course it is - the bat didn't cause the injury. The timing of the ball hitting the kid is what caused it - the same injury can be and is on a regular basis caused by hits that are much slower from balls that are just thrown and not hit.
