A foul ball struck Marie Uzdavines on the head while she was watching the Metropolitan Baseball Club (The Mets) play the Philadelphia Phillies at the Mets' home stadium in New York. The ball came through a hole in a screen designed to protect spectators sitting behind home plate. The screen contained several holes that had been repaired with baling wire, a lighter weight wire than that used in the original screen.

Although the manager of the stadium makes no formal inspections of the screen, his employees do try to repair the holes as they find them. Weather conditions, rust deterioration, and baseballs hitting the screen are the chief causes of these holes.

The owner of the stadium, the city of New York, leases the stadium to the Mets and replaces the entire screen every two years. Uzdavines sued the Mets for negligence under the doctrine of res ipsa loquitur. Is this an appropriate case for res ipsa loquitur? Explain.
