Oh no- a guy just fell out of the stands at the Ranger game

[150class]

Just tuned into SportsCenter and the guy's ohk but one of the people he landed on was a kid and he suffered a contusion (not sure if thats spelt right) to his face, but everyone else is ohk

[Gunther]

The report this morning is the guy suffered a temporal fracture of the skull and has brain swelling. They are doing what they can to relieve the pressure. He's not out of the woods yet.

Wow i missed the game last night, kinda glad i did now...

[flufster]

we were watching it on tv...the reaction of the ump and players made you sick to your stomach.....it really freaked some of them out

i am suprised no one has it on utube yet

I'll bet the fall was caught by one of the other cameras. It seems like one of the cameras always follows the foul balls into the stands - the director calling the shots just didn't happen to have that camera punched up and on the air. If the guy recovers maybe they will release it - or it will get leaked - the internet masses love that kind of stuff.

[Ouch]

I pray he'll be OK. What an awful situation for everyone involved.

been a lot of bad stuff with foul balls these last few weeks, there was the guy that fell last night, a kid got pushed into the railing by an adult out on the grassy knoll (adult did give the kid the ball and later the kid gave the guy a freebie t-shirt that was too big) and there was also a fist fight over a foul ball that went two or three swings before they flipped cameras

a couple nights ago a toddler took one that was screaming down third base....just seems like mor ethan usual lately...maybe the heat

[Codie]

going to the game Friday night! Maybe I should sit OUT of foul ball terrritory

[wildaggie]

Seems like alot of folks getting hit with foul balls lately. I think they are texting or surfing the web instead of paying attention to the game. I know that happened that was what happened to one person at a game we went to recently.

If you are in the line of fire, pay attention when someone is batting.

Wewere at the game 8 suites away when it happened the reaction from the crowd was weird. We were on thye same side and did not see him fall but he was below us. He is a FF in Lake Cities and we were their for the MDA Fill the Boot appreciation nite and were all FFs. it was weird not being able to get to him. The guy he was with I know and he said he tried to catch the ball after it bounced back out and fell backward and they could not hold on to him. he fell from the upper deck just above the signs and suites. About 35 ft. Very disturbing.

Thoughts and Prayers from our Dept to theirs next door.
