The law will protect the innocent parties. IMO they do not have a valid case and if the opposing attorney (or judge) is level headed they will counter-sue and get some money for this waste of a lawsuit.

None would be an improvement
Maybe I should sue ESPN for wasting my time with news of such frivolous lawsuits.

Wow.... Thats just crazy...
I don't see how you can hold the bat maker Easton (H&B) Responsible. They just made the bat for baseball use.....If anything(even though this is still just crazy) The league for allowing use of this bat would be at fault.
I have played in several adult softball leagues and they have rules against certain bats just for that reason.
In the end its really an accident and even though I feel bad for the injured party sometimes its part of life.... doesn't mean they should go to try and make a profit off of it.
On the other side... It wouldn't hurt if any parties involved offered to help with medical expenses for the injured party.(unless they are worried about more lawsuits and accusations.)

My favorite parts:
"Steven was pitching in a Police Athletic League game when he was hit just above the heart by a line drive. His heart stopped beating and his brain was deprived of oxygen for 15 to 20 minutes, according to his doctors."
Let's sue his parents for not knowing CPR and keeping his brain perfused with oxygen for those 15 to 20 minutes.
And this part:
"Although he was not playing in a Little League game, Little League is being sued because they gave their seal of approval to the bat, certifying it as safe for use by children, Fronzuto said."
This needs to be addressed with "loser pays" legislation where the parents have to reimburse LL baseball for all reasonable associated costs.

They should forgot to sue: the manufacturers of the baseball, the MLB, CBS for airing the games, , their local government for funding the park the kid was playing on, Portugal for manufacturing the cork @ the center of the baseball, the people of the Amazon Rain Forest for discovering rubber.

Maybe he should sue the catcher to for calling for that pitch, and giving him the pitch location... or the other teams coach for putting the line up in that order....or the batters parents for giving birth to the batter?

Why not?
These cases are created purely to force the other parties to "settle". Meaning lawyers get money, and child gets his healthcare costs paid.
It's pretty much a win/win situation. And rarely if ever, do these cases get to court. Can you imagine the bad publicity?

Bat company should sue the parents for passing on poor genetics.
"The suit also names Little League Baseball and the Sports Authority, which sold the bat. It claims the defendants knew, or should have known, that the bat was dangerous for children to use, according to the family's attorney, Ernest Fronzuto."
Are the parents negligent also? Wasn't it their responsibility to know the child was in danger by playing a sport where a hard spherical object randomly darts about the field traveling at 30-100 mph? Who let the kid stand in front of the ball that vegetated him in the first place?
