Court Sides With Red Sox In Brookline Woman's Foul Ball Lawsuit
The woman argued in the $9.5 million case that she sustained serious damage to her face.
BROOKLINE, MA — The Brookline woman who brought a $9.5 million lawsuit against the Boston Red Sox for injuries she got when a foul ball hit her during a game at Fenway Park in 2014 got an answer Wednesday in court. But it wasn't the one she was looking for.
A Suffolk County jury found the Boston Red Sox and owner John Henry were not negligent in the case, and so do not owe the woman any money.
Stephanie Taubin filed the lawsuit against John Henry, who also owns The Boston Globe, claiming that on June 17, she was seated in an area ordinarily protected from foul balls. Taubin's seats were in the EMC Club high above home plate, which is usually protected by glass windows. The glass had been removed for renovations.
