1883 The risks that a pitcher will strike the batter with a pitch, or that injury will result from playing in failing light are inherent in the game of baseball, and a participant is barred by primary assumption of the risk from recovering for injuries resulting from these risks; while the operator of a sport or sporting venue has a duty not to increase inherent risks, it has no duty to decrease those risks, as by providing face masks to baseball players.CitationBALTHAZOR v LITTLE LEAGUE (Twilight Little League) 62 CA4 47 [See: Knight v Jewett 3 C4 296, T/AT 10/92; Galardi v Seahorse 16 CA4 817, T/AT 8/93; Tan v Goddard 13 CA4 1528, T/AT 5/93; Wattenbarger v Cincinnati Reds 28 CA4 746, T/AT 11/94; Fortier v Los Rios 45 CA4 430, T/AT 6/96]
