Court Affirms Judgment for Baseball Club in Foul Ball Case

A Minnesota appeals court has affirmed a trial court’s decision to grant summary judgment to a baseball team, which had been sued by a spectator who was hit and injured by a foul ball.   In affirming the lower court’s ruling, the appeals court noted that “Minnesota, like other states, has determined that certain sporting events, including baseball games, present inherent risks that are well known to the public, and that anyone who attends those events assumes the risk of injury.” &n
