Would the baseball teams have a legal defense


Problem: Samantha attends a baseball game in San Francisco, California between two professional baseball teams. This is Samantha's 15th attendance at a professional baseball game. While Samantha is sitting in the bleachers, watching the game, a flying baseball hit by one of the baseball players flies in the direction of Samantha. Samantha and a few of the people sitting by her on the bleachers jump up to grab the ball. The ball hits Samantha on her right arm and lands in the hands of the person seated behind Samantha. Samantha suffers a broken arm because the flying ball hit her arm with great force. Thus, Samantha sues both baseball teams for negligence, claiming that the baseball teams were negligent in not protecting Samantha from the flying baseball. Samantha alleges that the baseball teams had a duty of care to protect Samantha from flying baseballs that harmed Samantha. Samantha civilly sues the baseball teams for negligence and for not protecting Samantha from the flying baseball that harmed her. In the lawsuit, would the baseball teams have a LEGAL DEFENSE and what is the legal term for their defense, if any? Explain.
