Nobody wants that. But in major league games they don’t stop play when a fan is hit by a foul ball, either. Since it’s likely this is the first time something this severe has happened with this small ball club, I doubt they were prepared to deal with it in any appropriate way. It doesn’t excuse their apparent indifference, but it doesn’t sound like they have a well-oiled PR machine to make follow-up calls, either.

We all take on a certain amount of risk attending these types of events. Baseball is known to have foul balls, and they do move fast. If he has attended other games he must have known this.

Still, a shame this happened.

I am outfitting them with safety googles, padding, and non-skid shoes.

Their claim pay out is significantly lower than those dedicated to stonewalling at all costs. What happened to Mr. Master is awful. Is there some point in not making the effort to see that Mr. Master was safely off the field before resuming play? Is there really no one who feels they could call to say they were sorry this happened to him?

Doing this isn’t a good way to act as a person/group and it isn’t smart from a legal standpoint either.
