The funniest thing about this whole lawsuit is that they're suing the sports retailer, as well. Apparently, they didn't warn of the "dangers" of the equipment, but I think the dangers are pretty much common-fucking-sense. Any ball with a high velocity is going to hurt when it impacts flesh. That's a pretty simple concept to grasp.
The parents really are making this story less tragic than it is. You want to feel nothing but sympathy for the kid, but then you just want to hit the parents over the skull with a baseball bat. Perhaps, I'd be nice and use a wooden bat.
