Fan dies from fall at Rangers game (Warning: Video link)

Would looking to Wrigley be an appropriate answer as a way to cover the gap?



The chain link doesn't invite people to chase balls that get caught there like a deck would and it's sturdy enough to hold up if someone falls on it. Also it shouldn't intrude the point of view.

Nice story and package in today's Brownwood Bulletin (Texas).

 

Poor taste from whatever flunkie posts to MLB's Facebook page? If you look at it, there's a post on whether someone should dive in the Chase Field pool for a home run.

Meanwhile, there's a video of the idiot male who stood on top of a table four inches below a rail to grab a foul. He was a dumbass and survived; the Brownwood firefighter was a loving dad dying to get his kid a memory.

They were at one point saying that raising the bar will result in obstructed views.

A tragedy yes, but where do you draw the line between idiot guard and common sense?
