A Fan Fell To His Death At Tonight’s Rangers/A’s Game
Brian Hickey — A firefighter watching the Rangers/A's game with his young son tonight asked Texas outfielder Josh Hamilton for a foul ball just hit by Oakland's Conor Jackson in the top of the second inning. He tumbled over the railing, fell about 20 feet onto a concrete level and was pronounced dead at the hospital less than three hours later.

He tumbled over the railing, fell about 20 feet onto a concrete level and was pronounced dead at the hospital less than three hours later. "I tried to grab him, but I couldn't," said Ronnie Hargis, a 50-year-old from Hawley who was seated next to him. "I tried to slow him down a little bit. He went straight down."
