MLB Umpire Injured by Foul Ball Awarded $775K in Suit Against Sporting Goods Company A District of Columbia Superior Court jury has ordered the Wilson Sporting Goods Co. to pay $775,000 to a Major League Baseball umpire injured by a foul ball that knocked off his Wilson-made face mask. Ed Hickox, who has since resumed his duties as an MLB umpire, suffered a concussion and several broken bones after a foul ball struck him in the jaw while he was umpiring a Washington Nationals’ game at RFK Stadium on May 14, 2005. The protective face mask Hickox was wearing at the time – manufactured by Wilson and given to Hickox for free by a Wilson representative – flipped off of his head upon impact. Hickox sued Wilson, claiming the company was responsible not only because the mask failed to protect his face as advertised, but also because the company failed to tell Hickox that the company had not tested the mask with the same rigor they used to test hockey face masks. “An ordinary customer would expect the umpire’s mask, built to protect the umpire’s face from stray baseballs, not to harm Plaintiff when a baseball strikes the mask,” Hickox wrote in his complaint. Hickox was represented by Patrick Regan and Paul Cornoni of Washington’s Regan Zambri & Long. Regan, in a telephone interview today, said he was not surprised the jury ruled on Friday in Hickox’s favor, since Wilson maintained that using field testing – that is, seeing how the mask held up while it was worn by umpires and catchers – was sufficient testing. “They were using the umpires and catchers as human guinea pigs,” Regan said. Timothy Fizer of Krause, Fizer, Crogan & Lopez in Owings Mills, Md., represented the company. He said an appeal is likely. The verdict was "obviously disappointing," Fizer said in a phone interview today. "Our position was that the mask was not defective." Regan said he did not know how many of the face masks in question were given for free to MLB umpires and catchers or sold to the public. He did say that Wilson did do more testing on the mask following the 2005 incident, but did not reveal the results of the test or what, if any, changes were made to the mask’s design. Coronavirus updates: Surgeon General cautions that 'deaths lag at least two weeks' as cases rise in 40 states; 31 MLB players test positive As MLB spring training resumes, 31 players test positive for COVID-19 Major League Baseball, resuming spring training Friday, announced that 31 players and seven staff members tested positive for COVID-19 as part of intake screening. The 38 positives were 1.2% of the 3,185 total samples collected and tested, according to the league. Teams are not permitted to identify the players who tested positive for COVID-19, but two players, Delino DeShields Jr. of the Cleveland Indians and Brett Martin of the Texas Rangers each revealed their positive tests. Any player who tests positive for COVID-19 must test negative twice at least 24 hours apart from one another, with no fever for 72 hours, before he can rejoin a team. MIKE TROUT: Angels' MVP isn't sure he'll play this season As Texas shuts back down amid soaring COVID-19 cases, doctors across the now-hardest-hit states face insurers that are starting to back away from the widely embraced telehealth approach to doctor appointments. Insurers are scaling back telehealth to pre-COVID levels, which were limited, resuming out-of-pocket payments and using time-consuming prior authorizations that can deter doctors. Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas initially planned to end telehealth expansion May 31 but has moved the date three times.

Fanatics, the company that makes MLB jerseys, is converting its manufacturing center in Easton, Pa., to a production center for the personal protective gear hospital workers have been clamoring for as the virus spreads. MLB and Fanatics will cover all costs associated with the endeavor, they said. “We hope this effort can play a part in coming together as a community to help us through this challenging situation,” MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred said in a statement. Fanatics will produce up to 1 million masks and gowns and distribute them throughout Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York, the latter of which has been the epicenter of the outbreak in the U.S. The company is making its first batch of masks and gowns using materials typically used to make jerseys for the Philadelphia Phillies and New York Yankees. Other team jersey materials will be featured as production expands.Kansas City Royals Face Coverings MLB players are wearing these awesome MLB Gameday Collection face coverings and scarves, you can find some images below and more information about these MLB face covers and scarves here.

Buenos días. Por aquí un sol flojito y abundantes nubes, se estarán preparando para mañana, pero he estado arreglando las plantas mientras se secaba la ropa, que todavía entre el sol y el aire se seca en poco tiempo y yo de camino tomo el sol también. Los rosales están empeñados en ofrecernos sus mejores rosas antes de que llegue el frío y la poda. Cuando oscurece tan pronto hay que hacerlo todo por la mañana, que la tarde se va en un vuelo.   @Vicky  Todo llega, mañana último día de trabajo antes del paraíso ¿eh? Y con tantas comidas hechas podrás disfrutar del tiempo libre. ¿Te permiten cambiar de pueblo o sigues sin poder moverte de ahí? ¿Ha decidido el mallorquín si viene o no en Navidad? Los isleños son los únicos que se pueden mover libremente, menuda suerte.   Cuídate mucho.     @encarnasao  El taller estuvo muy bien y tus hojaldrinas, envidiables, seguro que ya ha ido el mediano por algunas. ¿Cómo está Y., le han dado noticias de la prueba? ¿Te has puesto un tinte más oscuro? Cuídate mucho.   @RosaNegra24  Venga, a estudiar todos los días un poquito, que no se diga, a ver si en la próxima convocatoria quedas mejor posicionada, y de todas formas, a lo mejor hay gente que renuncia, o ha encontrado otra cosa, y te llaman, quién sabe, nunca debe perderse la esperanza. Las lagartijas deben comer poco, porque en invierno hay pocas moscas y mosquitos, estará en cualquier parte hibernando. La caldera, dependiendo de donde la compres, podrías pagarla a plazos, pregunta  por si te conviene. Cuídate mucho.   @mcelia  Muchas felicidades para P. Que paséis un día magnífico, 16 ya, qué bonita edad, cuando la vida se ve como un camino interminable. Cuídate.     @womangirl Espero que pases un magnífico jueves. Cuídate.     Pasad todas un buen día, tanto las que escriben como las que solamente leen, y procurad ser felices y muy prudentes, que la salud es lo que más importa.
