Part of the experience of attending a baseball game is that many of the dozens of baseballs used in each game are hid out of play into foul territory, into the backstop and screens, and into the stands. When attendees are hit by a baseball and inured, they frequently charge the stadium owner and/or baseball team should have provided more or better screens.
A child was struck in the head by a baseball during pregame batting practice at a minor league stadium while the child was seated in the picnic area beyond the unscreened left field wall in fair ball territory with his family for a pregame Little League party. The baseball club denied liability.
