PHILADELPHIA, June 13 (UPI) -- A woman says in a lawsuit she suffered severe injuries when the Philadelphia Phillies' mascot threw her into a pool at a New Jersey hotel.
The suit said Suzanne M. Peirce of Abington, Pa., was sitting in a lounge chair at the Golden Inn Hotel & Resort in Avalon, N.J., in 2010 when the Phillie Phanatic, who was performing, "picked up her chair and threw plaintiff and her chair into the pool," The Philadelphia Inquirer reported.
