Prayers up for this man's family and for Josh Hamilton. I fear for how he will personally cope with this.
Since the former President was present, stand by for the MSM to “blame Bush” for this too

Just imagine how the player who tossed the ball must feel...

Hamilton is said to be “distraught”
I am sure a civil suit will follow. Against Hamilton, the Rangers, the city (Stadium owners) over who knows what.
“Family says stadium is unsafe, wants compensation and higher walls” or whatever

Prayers for the family. No more throwing baseballs to the fans anymore. *sigh*

I just saw video of the fan falling on Dallas' channel 11 (only saw the fan disappearing behind the wall)... fan looked relatively young (mid to late 20s)... reached to his left over the railing and lost his balance.
I've sat near that section... it is at least a 20' drop. He must have fallen on his head.

Prayers up. This is not the first time I've seen this headline in my umpty-decade years in DFW. It happens. Hate to see it again.

VIDEOIt looks to me like he probably landed on his head and broke his neck.
To: txroadkill
I’m confused. I followed the link and under “related stories” it says the guy was moved out of intensive care and is said to be stable. I checked the time postings so maybe the earlier reports of his death are incorrect? I pray that’s the case.

No, there are two stories that are very close and auto keywording is bring up the older story. Last year a firefighter fell from the upper deck and landed on some people and survived. Tonight, oddly enough, this guy was a firefighter as well, but he did die, probably snapped his neck.

So much for MLB letting players toss balls into the stands. This is huge lawsuit city.

Video taken down and replaced with news story of tragedy. The announcer should be fired for laughing when the guy fell. A small child was next to the man, it may be his kid. Prayers for the family.

"Josh Hamilton tried to throw (the ball) up to the guy because they were yelling for the ball," Dunn said.The man fell after reaching to get a ball that was tossed into the stands by Rangers left fielder Josh Hamilton.
Throwing balls in such a manner is commonplace. Don't beat yourself up, Josh. Praying for his welfare. He must feel terrible.
