Everyone watching a poor kid see his father for the last time. People don't think of that part of it. Not saying anything against you, just the media.

My heart goes out to his family. This is the second time someone died at a MLB game this year. This is the second time someone has fallen over those railings at Arlington. Fortunately for the first guy, he survived with broken bones. This guy was not so lucky (I think the other fatality was Dodger Stadium) I wasn't even a fly ball, just the outfielder throwing a ball into the stands for a fan to catch There have been numerous complaints about the rails at Arlington, that they are too low and too close to the people. I am surprised there have not been more tragedies And BTW, I just took my 6 year old to a Tigers game a couple of weeks ago and we sat in very similar seats so I simply cannot watch the video Awards
