ARLINGTON, Texas, July 7 (Reuters) - A fan fell to his death at Rangers Ballpark on Thursday after catching a ball tossed by one of the Texas players.
The man was reaching for a ball thrown by Rangers outfielder Josh Hamilton during the second inning and toppled over a railing after making the catch.
He fell some 20 feet (6 meters) from the outfield seats to a paved area behind a scoreboard during the Rangers’ 6-0 win over the Oakland A’s.
“We are deeply saddened that the man who fell has passed away as a result of this tragic accident,” Rangers President Nolan Ryan said in a statement on the Rangers website.
“Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.”
