Brian Cariota, a paramedic who was working in the Houston Astros' dugout during the 2019 American League Championship Series, is suing the team after being struck in the head by a foul ball in Game 2 against the New York Yankees.
Per Michelle Homer of KHOU 11, Cariota filed a $1 million dollar lawsuit for "physical pain and mental anguish" caused by the injury. The suit alleges the team is at fault for the injuries Cariota suffered because it did not install protective netting on the dugout.
Cariota was struck in the bottom of the fifth inning when Astros outfielder Michael Brantley hit a foul ball into the team's dugout.
