My friend was two rows up and saw it happen. Said medics immediately started doing CPR so I'd say he was a goner on impact.

And they're worried about foul ball nets. It's bullshit. The railings are what's killing people. Yes there's plenty of jackassery involved, but there are far worse things to happen than a ball to the face. Thanks josh Hamilton.

My bro gave me grief last year at Turner for not being aggressive enough and lean out over the rail to catch a foul in front of us
See what can happen?!

I have no problem with that.

Drunk sports fan dying talking shit isn't something I want to see.

As much as I love talking shit with fans of opposing teams, it's always light hearted and joking.

What a dumb fuck. Not even the first time some moron has died at a game because they don't understand how gravity works.

Plenty of lawyers will say it's the stadium's fault.  They'll demand higher railing, safety nets, and of course a big restitution to his family, of which they will get 1/3rd.

I'm glad he didn't kill anyone else on the way down, and I'm sure there will be attorneys involved, but when millions of people have been there and you're the only dumbfuck that managed to go over the rail it might mean something.
