Woman Sues Chicago White Sox - She Was Hit By A Golf Ball In Stadium Lot

Inside a ballpark, there are often signs to watch for flying balls.

But outside the ballpark, there are no such warnings -- and certainly none for golf balls.

After a Chicago White Sox baseball game last year, Roxann Smith was struck by a golf ball while in a U.S. Cellular Field parking lot.

It was teed up by a drunken fan.

As a result, she's suing the team, as well as the man who she says struck her, Christopher J. Kawa, for the "severe permanent, disabling and disfiguring injury" she suffered.

It happened, she says, because there was a lack of security to protect her while in the "E" parking lot after a Sox-Anaheim Angels game Aug. 18. Kawa, she says, was hitting golf balls from the lot into the adjacent railroad yards.

Smith said she was standing by her vehicle when a golf ball hit her in the mouth, nose and teeth.
