Atlanta Braves, Jorge Soler hit by lawsuit after woman hit by baseball

ATLANTA - The Atlanta Braves and World Series Most Valuable Player, Jorge Soler, are facing a lawsuit after a baseball fan says she was hit in the eye with a baseball thrown by Soler.

This incident is reported to have taken place during Game Three of the World Series back in October 2021. The lawsuit, filed by Mayra Norris, claims that she had no opportunity to react or avoid the baseball when it struck her, emphasizing that the alleged incident occurred when the baseball was not in play.

Mayra Norris is seeking compensation for the damages she sustained as a result of the incident and is also seeking reimbursement for her attorney's fees.
