Fan Dead After Falling Over Rangers Ballpark Wall

I bet Josh Hamilton feels bad. Is a ball really worth that risk? How sad. Maybe they need to increase the height of the railings at Rangers Ballpark. I love going to baseball games, but they can be dangerous.

OH NO!! That is just terrible.

Unfortunately, this is certainly not the first time a fan has fallen over the railings at Arlington Stadium. Same thing happened last year, too. They are going to HAVE to raise the railings for fan safety, line of sight be damned.

What a terrible tragedy. How bizarre that this gentleman & last year's accident victim were both firefighters. I bet the stadium & Rangers are going to be sued quite badly over this death.

One article said that Hamilton feels guilty and he and the team are horrified. I think the article said Hamilton threw the ball because that guy or another guy had been asking for a ball.

I can't even imagine.
