How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• returning an athlete to play after he has suffered an injury is clearly a bad idea and it “requires no depth of analysis” to reach that conclusion in the context of a voluntary undertaking claim against a professional sports team
• duty of care exists to protect baseball tryout participants from aggravating sustained injuries, in part because it is “not at all unforeseeable a participant will attempt to push his body beyond its capabilities” to obtain a position on a “professional sports team”
