Jury returns verdict in Royals’ hot dog throwing case

A Jackson County jury today found plaintiff John Coomer 100 percent at fault for putting his eyeball in the path of a perfectly good hot dog.

Coomer sued the Kansas City Royals for damages resulting from an injury he received when Slugger, the Royals mascot, flung a foil-wrapped hot dog into the stands and hit Coomer in the eye.

The jurors assigned zero fault to the Royals organization for Coomer’s injury. This just proves how much Kansas Citians love their meat.
