Summary
Stephanie Duluc, 37, filed a $10 million lawsuit against the New York Yankees after Jose Ramirez’s bat flew into the stands at Yankee Stadium on June 2 and struck her in the head.
The suit says netting near her seat was significantly lower than in adjacent sections, leaving an unprotected opening by the on-deck circle where the bat entered.
Duluc alleges a traumatic brain injury, concussion, lasting neck and hand damage, light sensitivity and cognitive problems that have kept her from returning to work.
MLB required protective netting in dangerous foul-ball areas in all 30 parks in 2018 after a 105-mph foul ball at Yankee Stadium fractured a toddler’s skull, though bats and balls can still get through gaps.
