Key Points:
- Stephanie Duluc, a 37-year-old senior healthcare executive from New Jersey, has filed a $10 million lawsuit after being struck in the head by a baseball bat at a New York Yankees game on June 2.
- The bat, lost by a Cleveland Guardians batter, flew over protective netting and hit Duluc with significant force, causing a traumatic brain injury, concussion, and other severe injuries.
- The lawsuit alleges negligence by the Yankees, Yankee Stadium, and companies responsible for the netting system, claiming the protective netting was insufficiently high, leaving a dangerous gap.
- The incident was partially captured on the YES Network broadcast, which showed Duluc being hit and noted the bat flying into the stands over the screen.
- Duluc has been unable to return to work due to her injuries, and the complaint points out that one company involved in the netting system, Promats Athletics, has been administratively dissolved.
