  • During an Astros game last season, Jenniger Harughty suffered a broken index finger after she was struck with a t-shirt launched by mascot Orbit between innings. Now she is suing the team for $1 million. It will be a difficult suit for her to win.

On Sunday, July 8, 2018, 35-year-old Texas resident Jennifer Harughty, along with her two sons, husband and father, watched the Houston Astros defeat the Chicago White Sox 2-1 at Minute Maid Park.
