That I don’t know, but if a lawsuit is presented as the article offers, I would imagine a line of defense for any matter — not just this potential case — would be that the fan wasn’t paying attention as instructed on the reverse side of the ticket and perhaps via announcements before games. If there is language on the reverse side of a ticket that teams aren’t responsible for acts of foul balls, bats or other debris, then perhaps that could be forwarded as defense.
