When Slugger starts tossing hotdogs, it's not a ****ing ambush. It's pretty obvious what is happening. Had someone sprinted up behind this guy, tapped him on the shoulder, and drilled him in the face from point blank range when he turned around, that would be one thing. That simply wasn't the case here. An obvious promotion was happening. This guy knew about it. A freak accident happened, but it wasn't caused by negligence on the part of the Royals. It happened because this guy was too dumb to not get hit in the face by a hotdog.

Were you a witness to this incident?
IMO, if Slugerr threw the hot dog behind his back into an area where nobody was clamoring for hot dogs, the Royals ought to be liable.
The times I have seen the hot dog throws. I have never seen one get past all of the people trying to catch it.
The fact that this hot dog hit this guy in the eye when he was not looking indicates one or two things that suggest negligence by the mascot. That nobody else around him was trying to catch the hot dog. Or, that the throw's speed and trajectory was not appropriate for the distance of the throw because none of the people who were trying to catch it were able to.
I enjoy going to the Royals games, but there is way too much sensory overload between innings. They have some loud nonsense going on between every inning. I could see how a regular attendee of the games would learn to tune that sh*t out to maintain his sanity.
