Hit by the pitch.
A woman was hit by a ball at a little league game and is now suing the player, the child, for $150,000 in damages. At first glance this seems completely and 100% absurd, that is until you get a little detail.
Apparently this occurred when the woman was sitting in the bullpen which was apparently fenced. The child, a pitcher, was warming up for a game. According to the woman, he was acting reckless with the ball. Now, had I not played baseball and been to hundreds of games over my life, I would call BS on this story. But, having seen first hand how dumb some kids act when throwing a ball and not even thinking about repercussions of an arrant throw, I can believe this. Whether that is worth $150K, I'm not sure.
