SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The famous Coca-Cola bottle slide at the San Francisco Giants’ waterfront ballpark is becoming known for another reason: lawsuits.
The team, which starts its season Monday, is facing a $6 million suit by Chad Mello, who injured his left knee and ankle on the slide in 2008.
Mello’s is the fourth such lawsuit filed against the Giants and Coca-Cola since the park opened in 2000.
The team says it will not comment on ongoing litigation. Coca-Cola is referring any comment to the team.
