i dont even know what to say to this, in no way do i see any chance that anyone could believe the bat maker or the store was to blame.
WAYNE, N.J. — 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.
An attorney says Domalewski will need millions of dollars worth of medical care for the rest of his life.
The bat maker says while it sympathizes with Steven and his family, the bat is not to blame for the injury.

Have any of these cases against the aluminum bats scored the families any money?
Duh baseball can be a dangerous sport. What kind of disclaimers do bat companies and little leagues need to put out to stop sue happy families.
