Paramedic Amends Complaint in Concussion Case Involving Incident in Astros Dugout

Paramedic Brian Cariota, who was working in the dugout of the Houston Astros’ post-season game at Minute Maid Park against the New York Yankees in October of 2019 when he was struck by a foul ball, amended his negligence lawsuit in December against the team. Cariota reportedly removed that part of the complaint, which suggested that the lack of netting over the Astros dugout may have been related a desire by the ballclub to preserve sightlines for use in stealing other teams’ signals.
