Major League Baseball’s Atlanta Braves and 2021 World Series MVP Jorge Soler are being sued by a fan who claims she suffered “excruciating injuries” when Soler threw a baseball into the stands during Game 3 of the 2021 World Series in Atlanta.
Mayra Norris and her husband are suing the Braves and Soler, who has since joined the Miami Marlins, in a 10-page complaint filed in Cobb County Superior Court on Oct. 25, about two years after the incident occurred. The baseball thrown by Soler hit Norris “directly in her right eye causing extensive and excruciating injury,” according to the lawsuit.
