Im interested to hear y’all’s thoughts on this. Given that the end was uncovered it makes me think about Dustin Fowler’s lawsuit against the White Sox when in his first game in the bigs he crashed into an unpadded electrical box and blew his knee up. That from what I can find was settled out of court and sealed.
With Ruf… not to be rude… but he was 36 when this happened and had recently signed with the Brewers after being cut from the Giants. He wasn’t exactly smoking the ball but is opens up the box of is this a risk players assume when they take the field or not
