Just last week, we blogged<\/a> about how dangerous broken bats can be \u2013 for players, coaches, officials and fans. So we weren\u2019t too surprised to see this article<\/a> in the news about a man who was hit in the face by a broken bat at a Mets game a few years ago who has filed a lawsuit seeking compensation for his injuries.<\/p>\n As much as we feel for the guy (he suffered serious injuries to his face and head), we were a little surprised at the numerous targets of his lawsuit: he is suing the Luis Castillo (the batter), Ramon Castro (Castillo\u2019s then-teammate who loaned him the bat), the New York Mets, Major League Baseball andRawlings<\/a>, the bat manufacturer. No word yet on if he\u2019s suing the hot dog vendor from that section of the stadium.<\/p>\n Seriously, though, if his contention is that maple bats are inherently more dangerous than other bats, is the batter really to blame? Or the player who owned the bat? Or the team?<\/p>\n
