Woman Sues Yankees for $10 Million Over Bat Accident

A woman is suing the New York Yankees for $10 million. She says she was hit by a bat at a game.

Jose Ramirez of the Cleveland Guardians lost control of his bat on June 2. It flew into the seats near the on-deck circle.

The woman, Stephanie Duluc, says the netting near her seat was too low. This left a gap that the bat could fly through.

The Yankees have a new partner for predicting game outcomes.

The Yankees did not comment on the lawsuit right away.

Most tickets say that teams are not responsible for accidents like this. There are also signs at Yankee Stadium warning fans to be careful.

In 2018, all MLB stadiums had to put up netting to protect fans from foul balls. This was after a child got hurt at a game.

Even with netting, bats and balls can still hurt people. But this has happened less often since the netting was put up.

Yankee Stadium has different netting in different areas. This can make it harder to keep fans safe.
