    The defendants should counter-sue the parents for their stupidity and negligence in putting the kid in peril. It’s common knowledge that home runs get hit near a ball field. If they didn’t want to watch the game they should have gone to a park to eat their weenies.

    Here’s another reason for this professional baseball team to move out of the hostile venue established by this liberal court… I am sure Arizona, Oklahoma or Texas would love to host another team minor league team…

    Good riddance to NM!

    in not reading their ticket… signs at the ballpark… taking their 4 year old to a “dangerous sport”

    The statement in the suit is rediculous – Matranga’s (the batter) conduct “was wanton and showed an utter indifference to or conscious disregard for the safety of Plaintiffs … “Ignored his duty to exercise ordinary care as he the ball into the occupied picnic area”…

    Who in the $&@#( thinks the batter aimed at the picnic area? Or the kid for that matter

    If these people were that stupid to think that a baseball park is without risk should assume more than 51% of the risk since they made the “concious” decision to attend the game in the first place – What… They don’t watch TV? Don’t hear the announcers say over and over and over again they cannot stress enough to be aware of flying objects – no matter where they are seated –

    Stay home and watch the tube if you want to be protected from life…

    Bye-Bye Baseball is right – or hello higher ticket prices to pay for the insurance that they won’t be able to afford as a result of the ruling

    I hope the Superior reverses on appeal from the District – Judge Richard J. Knowles needs to get out more often…

    And a JURY should decide an award? I’m sure they’ll sit back there in their little room and come up with a real fair price… like 10million or some rediculious number –

    STOP THE MADNESS!
