  • finding that a baseball league had no duty to decrease the risks in the sport and thus owed no duty to protect a player from being hit by a pitch because that risk was inherent in the sport
  • Little League owed no duty to player to provide special safety equipment to guard against being struck by wild ball, because that is inherent risk of sport
  • league did not have duty to provide face guards even if they reduced risk of injury from wild pitch, because failure to do so did not increase inherent risk of being hit by wild pitch
