The Kansas City Royals are a business. When you are a business, you take on risks and liability, and you insure against it. As the property owner, they have an obligation to make sure that it's safe. There is a difference between a guy sprinting through Target and tripping and falling because of his own stupidity, and a guy casually walking through Target when he trips on a wet spot somebody forgot to clean up. This guy was minding his own business, the Royals engaged in an activity they knew was risky and avoidable, and the guy got injured.

Good lord. Hot dogs. HOT DOGS. Giving away hot dogs is dangerous? By going to a baseball game you assume the risk of projectiles. You assume it. And, it doesn't matter if his damages are $1 for ketchup on his shirt, or 9.7M for an injury. That should have no bearing over the liability of the situation. It has to do with a breach of duty.
Next time I catch one of sluggers hot dogs and the ketchup gets loose due to the small impact and onto my shirt. I'm going to sue the Royals for $19.95 for my t-shirt. I will not give up. I will prevail. They must pay for my stained t-shirt.
