A Little League player hits a home run, flips his bat — and gets ejected and suspended. His family fights back, and the case lands in court.

Host Rich Lenkov speaks with attorney Brian Berkley of Fox Rothschild about his role in the high-profile New Jersey Bat Flip case, where a judge ruled in favor of the young athlete. They explore the key questions:

• Was the ejection consistent with Little League’s own rules?
• What does “implied contract” mean for youth sports organizations?
• How can leagues avoid similar situations in the future?

A fascinating intersection of law, sports, and fairness, this episode highlights how even youth athletics can raise major legal implications.
