Batting Cage Machine With Mind of Its Own Fires Ball Into Man’s Groin
Batting Cage Machine With Mind of Its Own Fires Ball Into Man’s Groin; Man Collects $1.2 Million

Quote:
Man goes to the batting cage in Florida. An employee, for some reason, told him to go and pick up the balls after the light had gone off and the pitches were complete. Randomly, the machine spit out a 60 mph pitch that drilled this man in the nuts. He was hospitalized a few days later.

Eventually, 19-year-old Lhyvann Felipe sued, and was awarded $1.2 million ($160,000 for his medical expenses, and the rest for pain and suffering). When you factor in the lawyer fees and taxes, though, he’s probably only walking away with $500,000. The Miami Herald should get in touch with this guy in three years to see if he invested this wisely or blew it on hookers and partying.

Ouch.... 3 days??? They would have life lined me there...... plus I doubt if he walked away with 500 grand.... might have crawled away, but 60 mph to the nads........ I am hurting and I wasn't even there...
