    Another fan nearly falls at game

    Shesh, what the heck is wrong with people, risking lives to catch a baseball. Some man last night at the HR derby, hopped on a table and leaned over to catch a HR ball. He nearly fell, but was caught in time by his friend and brother. This is very very concerning to me and I feel all MLB parks should do something immediately, if not beggining next season. They need to quit selling 1st row seat, unless it is field level. Therefore, if a ball is hit and a fan in the first row ( which would be 2nd row under this rule ) can safely reach for the ball and catch it. They need to make it publicly clear with signs, commercials, announcements, and however else, that if anyone goes into the first row and tries to catch a ball is doing it at their own risk. If they fall, no one can be held liable period, as it was due to the falling fans negligance.

    I was thinking the same thing. Baseball fans will be watching behind hockey glass after the first lawsuit.

    what a complete dumbass

    it was in the newspaper today that i read

    they should have kicked the fan out IMHO

    article said they did not and let him stay

    the dumbass climbed on top of the table to catch the ball

    Man, I'm afraid you might be right. Idiot fans always ruin things at games, and I'd hate to see the safety restrictions do the same because of something like this. Or, just put up a big basket like they have at Wrigley, haha.

    also, what makes it really stupid is that it is NOT a game...it is the HR CONTEST...not like your really hanging on the edge of your seat when your team is down a run in the 9th inning...I mean, we know the balls are going for homers...fukkin dumb as hell this guy is...

    Very close call. Scary. He was never going to get near the ball. What was he going to do? Dive 10m forward?

    Did that fuker really think he had a chance to catch that ball? He was at least 40 feet away as the ball wasn't even close to him. Dumbass.

    Looks like it was intentional. Maybe some kind of sick move to get on National TV. I mean, the guy gets a perfect picture that easily? And two different people get an appendage each? That would have happened in mere seconds, and certainly not enough time. That's just my two cents, knowing how quickly you have to react trying just to film things at games.

    No respect for the fireman that died in Arlington.
