Indiana Man Suing White Sox Over Free T-Shirt Injury

An Indiana man is suing the Chicago White Sox, US Cellular Field and the Chevrolet Pride Team because he claims he suffered a back injury while trying to catch a free t-shirt.

"David Babusiak of St. John, Ind., suffered a permanent back injury when he was shoved to the ground at a June 8, 2007 game, when members of the Chevrolet Pride Team fired a T-shirt from a "launcher cannon" into Babusiak's section of the stands between innings, his attorney, David Holub, said.
The suit filed in federal court in Hammond, Ind. this week also names U.S. Cellular Field and the Pride Team as defendants.
The defendants are liable for more than $75,000 in damages because they were "engaging in an abnormally dangerous activity, namely, shooting free T-shirts as projectiles into an unsupervised crowd of spectators, some of whom may not have been sober."

Like maybe Mr. Babusiak.
If you are hurt getting one of those shirts, you learn a couple things from it, one you suck at catching anything but a cold and two, you aren't allowed to criticize any player who drops the ball.
Good Luck with this one buddy, hopefully you have to pay everyone's legal fees because of this lawsuit.
