A Hit Below the Belt: The Yankees' Responsibility in Stadium Safety A lawsuit filed by Stephanie Duluc against the New York Yankees raises questions about the accountability of sports teams towards their fans.
On June 2, a Cleveland Guardians player's errant bat struck Duluc in the head and hands at Yankee Stadium, leaving her with a traumatic brain injury that has prevented her from returning to work as a senior healthcare executive.
The incident was caught on live television, showing Duluc getting knocked down before slowly getting back up.
