Hamilton Bouces Back with a Game Winning Homerun tonight.
My G/f and I were at the Cubs game on July 1st and almost saw the same thing happen at Wrigley. During Batting Pratice in the Bleachers Omar V threw one into the stands and a guy 3 or four seats over caught it lost his balance and fell about 8 rows forward head first into the outfield wall. If the guy had been against the railing he would have went over easily. At wrigley the farthest i remember a drop would be 6 - 8 feet though unless it would be from the 2nd deck. They almost need to raise the railings and put nets where big drop offs are.

It is a horrible story. I just now heard that he was not dead until he was in the ambulance. This is kinda odd to me but still a sad story.
