Tragedy hit the baseball world yesterday as a fan plummeted 20 feet out of the stands to his death at the Ballpark in Arlington. The fan was reaching out for a ball that Josh Hamilton threw into the stands after making the third out during last night A’s vs. Rangers game.

Team President Nolan Ryan had this to say,

“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.”

I’ll warn you if you click on the link, the story is gut-wrenching. The man was attending the game with his son. After his fall he was conscious asking paramedics to check on his son. There isn’t really anything you can say, except it’s tragic and our prayers go out to the family. The only positive thing I can say is that the Rangers have shown they are an organization of the highest class this year, and I would have never guessed that. Very sad story, my heart breaks for the son.
