A TEXAS Rangers fan died after falling about 6 meters onto concrete reaching out for a baseball tossed his way by MLB All-Star outfielder Josh Hamilton during a game.
Shannon Stone, a 39-year-old firefighter, died at a hospital late on Thursday. He was at the game with his young son, who watched as his dad tumbled over the outfield railing after catching the ball. Arlington Fire Department officials said Stone, who witnesses said was conscious after the fall, "went into full arrest" while being transported by ambulance. He was pronounced dead at a Fort Worth hospital less than an hour after he fell. It is the second fatal fall at a Major League Baseball stadium this season.
