Adam accepted an invitation from his friend Dot to attend a baseball game. The seatsDot had purchased were very good, a few rows up from the field, and just past firstbase. Adam had recently immigrated to the United States and knew nothing aboutbaseball.During the game, a player, Brad, hit a ground ball toward third base. The third basemanfielded the ball and threw to the first baseman. Brad thought he was safe, but the firstbase umpire called him out. Brad began to argue with the umpire, and in frustration,Brad threw his batting helmet to the ground. The helmet, made of a strong, hard plasticmaterial, bounced on the ground and flew into the stands, striking Adam on the side ofthe head, causing a serious injury. Adam never saw the helmet coming towards himbecause he was looking around the stadium at the time rather than at the play on thefield. As he was unfamiliar with the game of baseball, he did not know that objectsoccasionally fly into the stands during a baseball game.What arguments would Adam make in support of a claim of negligence, what defense(s)can reasonably be asserted, and who is likely to prevail in a lawsuit filed by:1. Adam against Brad? Discuss.2. Adam against Dot? Discuss.
