Rogue Baseball Bat Injuries Boy

Frivolous lawsuits are nothing new but the Domalewski family has taken things to a new level.

Young Steven Domalewski was pitching in a Little League game when an opposing player hit a ball into Steven's chest to cause his heart to stop. This subsequently led to brain damage and physical disabilities for the teen.

The Domalewskis is now suing the maker of the baseball bat used at the time, Little League Baseball, and the sporting goods store where the bat was purchased for the incident claiming the metal baseball bat that was used is too dangerous for the youth to hit flying baseballs with.

While it can be seen that this is a terrible accident that will have a lasting effect on the entire family, it is also clear that this is a very stupid lawsuit for the express purpose of extorting money from parties not at fault.

Surprisingly, the child who was responsible for striking the baseball, the manufacturer of the baseball, the laws of physics (specifically regarding motion and force), and God himself were spared from litigation.
