I get your point if you're talking about a simple slip and fall where somebody is trying to milk the system for a made up injury. This guy sounds like he has legit medical injury that he had to pay for.
What if this was a 5 year old kid with no coordination? A baseball team shouldn't do this kind of promotion if they haven't thought through the risks. They absolutely had a breach of duty the instant they approved of this promotion.

So maybe the parent shouldn't bring a 5 year old to a baseball game that doesn't have the maturity to understand what is going around them. Under this argument, children shouldn't be allowed at a baseball game at all. I can't say I disagree with that, because, they could easily get hit by a bat, foul ball, etc. So, if a child was sitting there, was hit by a foul ball, what would you think? Like others have said, when slugger is doing the promotion, it's OBVIOUS to what is going on. What do you go to baseball game for? To read your iPad, you are a spectator, you are looking at what is going on on the field and around you as it relates to the baseball game. You aren't sitting in starbucks reading a book and someone chucks a latte at your grill.
