Another fan in texas fell out of the stands....Is the team that bad?- So i guess here we go again ,as last season when it happen, everyone will be blaming everyone and everything besides the idiot who risked his own life for a $10 baseball....

If he maintained possession, Jerry Jones may offer him a contract.

Have you seen the Astros play lately?! At a couple of games this year I've been tempted to jump from the upper deck! Lol It has gotten bad here, but we've been there before. Lol

That's very sad. My thoughts are with his family. It couldn't have been in Houston, as the Astros are on the road.

they never opened up the Rangers cluhouse to media after the game and the A's clubhouse was opened up late and the A's beat reported said that many of them were teary after hearing the news. He apparently landed close to the A's bullpen. Brad Ziegler said he was conscious when carted away and was asking officials to watch after his young kid.

Sad.......

Wow, that's terrible. The really weird thing is I believe the fan that fell last year also fell on July 7th. Sounds like a bad day to watch the Rangers play.

Just heartbreaking especially if that is his kid in the video. Shows just how precious life can be, and how quick things can go bad.

I've seen people from the smallest of crashes or fall pass away, while others survive and walk away from horrific crashes.

My heart goes out to the kid and his family.

Feel awful for the son having to watch his dad fall. I also heard that his wife is pregnant. Not sure if the later is true or not.

Time to put some catwalks or some kind of wire netting over those open spaces like that. A simple thing that could have saved his life.

it is not the team's fault he fell. he assumed the risk going after the ball and unfortunately that happened.

I NEVER said it was the teams fault. He took the risk, he fell.

But, hidsight being 20/20, I bet the Rangers wish they had put something up beforehand.
