Businesses face risks every day. The "baseball rule" is a legal standard that protects teams from being sued over fan injuries caused by events on the baseball field, court, or rink. A fan attending a Kansas City Royals game was struck in the eye by a hot dog thrown by Sluggerrr, the mascot for the team. The fan had two surgeries after suffer- ing a detached retina. He sued the Royals for damages. The court's initial ruling, which favored the Royals, stated that spectators are subject to unavoidable risk during games. The ruling has been appealed, and now the Missouri Supreme Court must decide whether the "baseball rule" comes into play in this situation.

Because businesses face risk, many business owners address it in the business plan. Assume you are a judge on the Missouri Supreme Court, how would you rule in this situation? Explain why.
