Rangers Fan Falls
A fan attending a baseball game between the Texas Rangers and the Cleveland Indians fell from the upper deck mezzanine level into the field-level bleacher seats on Tuesday.
The male fan fell roughly 60 feet, and play was paused for more than 16 minutes. The umpires discussed whether or not to postpone the game, or continue playing, but the decision was made to resume play at 8:45 CST.
There is no official word yet on the fan’s health.
When play resumed, the first pitch got away from the Cleveland catcher, and Vladimir Guerrero of the Texas Rangers scooted over to second base. One must wonder whether the first play after such an event was affected by the way the players’ must have felt after witnessing such a sight.
