Romanucci & Blandin Backs Metal Bat Ban in Chicago
Tony Romanucci, who has extensive experience in traumatic brain injury (TBI) litigation, has thrown his support behind an Ordinance introduced by Chicago Alderman Bob Fioretti on Sept. 10 at a Chicago City Council meeting to ban the use of metal baseball bats by organized youth leagues.
Tony, who helped organize a news conference preceding the Council meeting, spoke about the dangers of using metal bats. Other speakers were Christina Russo, the mother of a teenage son whose face was shattered when he was struck by a baseball hit by a metal bat, and Dr. Ricardo Senno, M.D., a specialist in the rehabilitation of TBI patients.
Tony also distributed copies of a letter of support from New York City Councilman James Oddo, who introduced similar legislation which was passed and upheld earlier this year by the New York Appellate Court. A photo of the news conference participants is posted in the Romanucci & Blandin Firm News, under Press Releases, 2008.
