Let's Eat Two? Royals Fan Sues for Being Hit in Eye by Hot Dog From Mascot

Kansas City Royals fans have more to worry about than foul balls flying into the stands.

Royals fan John Coomer says he was injured by the team's mascot Sluggerrr after being pelted in the eye by a hot dog during a September 2009 game, according to the Kansas City Star.

Coomer's attorney, Bob Tormohlen, told the court his client suffered a detached retina and has undergone three surgeries to correct the alleged eye damage, according to the paper.

I think this suit has been ongoing since shortly after the incident.

This is the first I think I've seen of it. Makes me wonder how the guy was throwing the dogs because it's obvious that they'll be flying.

I know the incident was well-publicized shortly after it happened. As I recall, Sluggrrrr was throwing out hot dogs. One or more he did over his shoulder while facing away from spectators. It was one of those that hit the guy.
