    fan falls to death in texas (Josh Hamilton possible relapse??)

    RIP to the fan who fell to his death in Arlington.

    Josh Hamilton tossed a foul ball to a fan, the fan eagerly reached over the railing to grab it and fell to his death.

    Last July at Rangers Ballpark, a fan fell 30 feet from the second deck of seats down the first base side while trying to catch a foul ball. That fan, Tyler Morris, suffered a fractured skull and sprained ankle.
    Who thinks the guy's family will own a small piece of that stadium?

    Not at all dude show some respect. Maybe if he fell 3 feet onto the field it would be funny but nothing is funny about falling 20+ feet onto hard concrete head-first. That wasn't funny at all and even if the guy walked away from it it still wouldn't have been funny. How could you laugh at someone taking a head-first 20 foot dive onto concrete?

    Didn't look that bad either, he must have fallen directly on his head.

    You can't tell that it's a 20 foot fall onto concrete, can you? I'm sure they probably didn't as well, they are the A's announcers not the Rangers. Definitely is funny watching someone fall when you can't see how severe it is.

    After the game, the team, including Hamilton, was told what happened.
    "I think as any of us would be, Josh is very distraught over this as the entire team is," Ryan said. Ryan added that the Rangers are "very heavy-hearted about this."
    Rangers manager Ron Washington said: "Josh is fine -- outwards he's fine. I guess he's got to deal with it in his own way."
    Washington said he will decide on Friday whether Hamilton needs a day off after what happened Thursday night.
    A fellow fan said he was chatting with the man earlier in the game and that he was a firefighter from Brownwood, but didn't know his name.
    "I tried to grab him, but I couldn't," said Hargis, a 50-year-old from Hawley, Texas, who was sitting beside the falling fan. "I tried to slow him down a little bit. He went straight down."
    Several fans, including Safawna Dunn, said paramedics quickly got to the fan and took him off in a stretcher.
    "He was conscious," Dunn said.
    The visitor's bullpen at the stadium is in left-center field. Athletics reliever Brad Ziegler was in tears after the game when he found out the man had died.
    "They had him on a stretcher. He said, 'Please check on my son. My son was up there by himself.' The people who carried him out reassured him. 'Sir, we'll get your son, we'll make sure he's OK,'" Ziegler said. "He had his arms swinging. He talked and was conscious. We assumed he was OK. But when you find out he's not, it's just tough."

    I can't even imagine.

    Josh Hamilton Killed Some Guy at a Rangers Game Today

    He didn't even mean to do it.....poor guy and of course poor fan who died as a result of it too.

    Apparently Connor Jackson of the Oakland A's hit a foul ball which Hamilton picked up and tossed to some guy in the stands at the Rangers game tonight. The fan reached over the railing to try and catch the foul ball and eventually fell over and landed 20 feet down into a camera booth where he landed on his head and died on the spot. The deceased fan's little boy was there and watched the whole thing too.


    Pretty terrible stuff. My guess is Josh Hamilton will be hitting the booze tonight.
