    Rangers Will Honor Guy That Fell With A Statue

    It's sad that the guy fell over the railing and died but thats just weird to have a statue of him and his son at the ballpark. Only other statue's at the stadium are of Nolan Ryan and Tom Vandergriff.

    That is kinda weird. Something like a banner or plaque would have been better IMO

    Yeah, maybe a picture on the wall or something but not a statue when the only other two at the park is of a baseball legend and a political legend that help build the city to what it is.

    i like it actually.

    it's a not so subtle way of reminding fans not to reach over for a stupid ball, otherwise they'll end up with a statue right next to him.
