Fan Suing Astros After Allegedly Suffering Finger Injury from T-Shirt Cannon

Jennifer Harughty filed a lawsuit against the Houston Astros after suffering a severe finger injury that required two surgeries once she was struck by a t-shirt fired from a t-shirt cannon by the team's mascot, Orbit, during a July 2018 game at Minute Maid Park.

On Tuesday, Rebecca Hennes of the Houston Chronicle reported Harughty alleges the injury to her left index finger forced her to attend physical therapy twice per week and, despite the procedures, the finger "remains locked in an extended position with little to no range of motion."

TMZ Sports obtained pictures of Harughty's finger, which was swollen and required two screws for stabilization, and TMZ noted she's seeking $1 million in damages.
