"A Mets fan who says a flying piece of a broken baseball bat shattered his face is suing the team and Major League Baseball.

James G. Falzon's lawsuits say the severed barrel of a maple bat became "a dangerous projectile" and broke bones in his face during an August 2007 Braves game at Shea Stadium.

Falzon says the team, the league and Rawlings-brand bat maker the Jarden Corp. should have done more to protect fans from break-prone maple bats."

So is this guy dumb or just money hungry? I'm not saying when you go to a baseball game that you put your life in danger but there are some risks. Obviously you may be hit directly or indirectly with foul balls/drunken fights/ and broken or whole bats. I remember watching a story on youtube of how 10 years ago a kid was hit in the eye with a foul ball and not only did he almost go blind but he almost died. That family never sued. Sporting events can only be so protective for it's spectators but I think this guy may be going a little bit too far saying the MLB should have done something more to protect the fans.
