Man Falls & Dies at Ball Park, Son Watches

[Silver_Bullet_00]

This is one of the saddest things I have ever seen at a baseball game.

A man died when he feel out of the stands trying to catch a ball tossed at him by the outfielder, while his young son stands by and watches.

I saw that. Hate to say it but my first thought was "will they sue?".

I bet Nolan Ryan gives the family a nice gift, after they sign a paper.

Another fireman did just about the same thing last year, fractured a skull but lived.

The mother of this poor guy said on the news "he was so exciting about taking his son to a game and possibly catching a ball that he bought his son a new glove on the way to the ballpark". Tragic.

Hopefully that kid recovers from the trauma of watching his dad fall to his death. And hamilton has to feel bad being the one that threw the ball to him. A scholarship fund for the kid would be nice.

What a terrible tragedy, it's amazing how quickly life can turn around for folks. Any of us for that matter. I've played the game and watched for years and have not witnessed such a similar tragedy ever.

Just really bad for everyone involved. That young lad has to live with something few of us know.
