Wrigley Field marquee lights up before a Chicago Cubs baseball game in April. At one point during the Aug. 29 game, a line-drive foul ball fired into the stands and slammed into Loos’s face. “I knew foul balls go into the stands,” Loos, 60, of Schaumburg, Ill., told USA Today. In April, for example, the Atlanta Braves settled a lawsuit brought by the father of a 6-year-old girl whose skull was shattered by a foul ball. But a lawsuit against the Cleveland Indians, brought by a fan who was struck in the back of the head by a foul ball and partially lost his eyesight, failed in March.
