KANSAS CITY, Mo., Feb. 24 (UPI) -- A Kansas, Mo., man's lawsuit against the Kansas City Royals alleges he suffered an eye injury from a hot dog thrown by team mascot Sluggerrr.
John Coomer filed a suit in Jackson County Circuit Court alleging he suffered a detached retina and cataracts after he was struck in the eye by a hot dog tossed by the mascot during a Sept. 8 home game at Kauffman Stadium, The Kansas City Star reported Wednesday.
"(Sluggerrr) attempted to throw a hot dog into the stands with a throw behind his back," the suit states. "Instead of throwing the hot dog at an arch high into the stands, (Sluggerrr) lost control of his throw, or was reckless with his throw, and threw the hot dog directly into plaintiff, who was sitting a few feet away."
A Royals spokesman declined to comment on the lawsuit, which is scheduled for mediation June 1.
