A San Mateo County jury on Monday awarded a former Major League Baseball pitcher $2.3 million in damages for hand injuries sustained while combating a man who was high on LSD.
Greg Reynolds, who spent five on-and-off years with the Colorado Rockies, the Cincinnati Reds and the Texas Rangers, claimed he was injured on Jan. 16, 2015, during a run-in with defendant Domenic Pintarelli.
Reynolds' lawyer, Niall McCarthy, of Cotchett, Pitre & McCarthy, told jurors that the injuries cut short a career comeback attempt by the journeyman pitcher. Reynolds was a free agent at the time of the incident, after having last pitched in Japan with the Saitama Seibu Lions in the 2014 season. The lawsuit claimed that Pintarelli was naked and high on LSD when he attacked Reynolds in front of his home in Ocean Colony, a gated community in Half Moon Bay.
