David Beckham and Prof. Stephen Balkaran are best friends since his days in England, in fact, David Beckham always refer to Prof Balkaran as the GOAT Professor. David accepted an invitation from Professor Steve to attend a Red Sox-Yankee baseball game in NYC. The seats Prof. Balkaran purchased were very good, a few rows up from the field, and just past first base. David Beckham is not a baseball fan and in fact and knew nothing about baseball. During the game, a player, David Ortiz hit a ground ball toward third base. The third baseman fielded the ball and threw it to the first baseman, David Ortiz-thought he was "safe," but the first base umpire called him "out." David Ortiz began to argue with the umpire, and in frustration, David threw his batting helmet to the ground. The helmet, made of a strong, hard plastic material, bounced off the ground and flew into the stands, striking David Beckham on his right leg, causing a serious injury and several cuts on his leg, the lost of his leg and he was told that he will not ever use his leg again. David never saw the helmet coming toward him because he was looking around the stadium at the time rather than at the play on the field. As he was unfamiliar with the game of baseball, he did not know that objects may occasionally fly into the stands during a baseball game. What arguments would David Beckham make in support of a claim of Tort Negligence against the Stadium, Red Sox, and player, what defense(s) can reasonably be asserted, and who is likely to prevail in a lawsuit filed by: 1. David against David Ortiz? Discuss. 2. David Beckham against Red Sox? Discuss. 15 points
