A judge has thrown out a New York Mets fan’s lawsuit against the team and Major League Baseball over a bat that broke and flew into his face in the former Shea Stadium’s stands.
A judge dismissed the case earlier this month. James Falzon sued last summer over the August 2007 incident.
Falzon’s lawyer says he plans to appeal. A lawyer for the team and league had no immediate comment. Falzon has a separate lawsuit that’s still ongoing against the bat’s makers. His suit follows years of discussion of the safety of maple bats.
