My brother was at the game and saw the whole thing. Braves fan leaning over upper deck railing to heckle Yankees A Rod falls to his death.

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.

Play stupid games and all of that.
I am a Braves fan, I don't like A-Rod much (he could have been one of the greats without the PED's, but that wasn't good enough), but I have no sympathy for the foolish, and am a firm believer in Darwin being right. |

Cue the HaHa kid pic from Simpsons.
What a stupid way to die |

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?! |

Some people are trolling the comments there on ESPN pretty good

Can't find any video of the fall. View Quote 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. ISIS members getting blown up, headshot, etc, give me all the videos you can find! |

The first time boo rod returned to Seattle he was treated to one dollar bills thrown like confetti.
Due to the fact he told the lie that he didn't leave for the money. (He signed with the Rangers as the highest paid player in the game) And of course roundly booed. It turned out well for the Mariners to of gotten rid of this piece of trash. Sorry a baseball fan died over his dislike of this walking pile of poo. |

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.

Said he hit some of those wires on the way down shown in the picture.

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.
