Toss Between Innings

A woman at a major-league game sat in an unprotected section of the grandstand. Between innings, as she began to head toward the concession stand, she was struck in the face by a ball thrown by a star outfielder, either during warm-up throws with a teammate or as a toss after catching the final out. She suffered an eye injury and facial disfigurement and sued both the player and the team, arguing the throw was careless and players should be trained not to endanger fans.
