As pretty much everyone else stated, if you got to the game, pay attention!! Stadium owners provide as safe an environment as they can without taking away the ambience of the game itself. They don't put nets in front of the dugouts, they put them behind home plate as this is a tough spot to sit in & react quick enough to protect yourself if needed. That is why the umps & the catchers where masks. Batters in the on-deck circle wear helmsts because they are batting next & are much closer to the batter than anyone else (next to the catcher & home plate umpire). You have an obligation as a fan to pay attention when necessary. It is the same as at a hockey game. When the puck is in play, pay attention. When the baseball is in play, pay attention. This is an obvious & common sense answer. Just imagine, next someone will want to sue someone because they spilled their hot coffee on themselves....oh wait, that already happened!!!!
