Red Sox lawsuit
"The closer the fan is to the action on the field, the greater
the risk."
MBA Chief Legal Counsel and
Chief Operating Officer Martin W. Healy, Boston Herald, August 29
Healy was quoted in a story about a recent lawsuit filed in
Suffolk Superior Court against Red Sox owner John Henry involving a
fan who was injured by a foul ball while sitting in the EMC Club
during a game at Fenway Park in 2014. The complaint says the injury
resulted from renovations to the park which removed protective
glass from the area.
