"gunner" steve,

A Montana mother is attempting to sue the manufacturers of Louisville Slugger baseball bats after her 18 year old son was killed during a game. He was struck in the head by a successfully batted baseball. The baseball bat which was used to hit the ball was of the metal variety. The technological superiority of metal bats vs. wood is hotly debated. Her claim is that the manufacturer has produced an unreasonably dangerous bat and should be held liable for her son's death. I am not a ball player but I assume the goal of baseball bat technology is to facilitate hitting a baseball as reliably and as hard as possible. It would seem that the bat in question was functioning well in accordance with its design. http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5gZ-75KV1MbPOb898NAuCI8oG1urAD9BGE2T01 I will be interested to see if the legal precedent of successful suits against gun manufacturers for gun deaths (in which their product was functioning properly and used correctly) is invoked during this suit. I am also interested to see if the result of this case will be invoked in future lawsuits against gun manufacturers for producing efficient and functional products. In related news, baseball bats in California may now have no more than two of the following three features: made of metal, rubber grip, black in color. -Don This is of related legal interest for those in the US.
