I figured something like that would happen. At least he didn't fall to his death though.

The best part is that he had already caught 3 balls before this happened.

What an a#%hole. Apparently, we learned nothing last week. He better have bought a few rounds of beers for those who helped save his life.

Beer + small round white projectiles coming from 400 feet away = high risk of death

All for some $13 balls. Too bad none of he souvenirs he caught will make him any smarter.

Danger averted? I beg to differ...that man is still alive and able to reproduce. Nobody is safe until he is eliminated from the gene pool.

Good thing that photographer was only a few feet away to give us a close up look! :benson:

Why, if you want to stand on something and risk your life for a baseball do it. If you decide to jump for a ball you deserve whatever comes your way. I myself have caught 51 BP baseballs to date and I have not once fallen over a railing. I have caught some on the fly but most are toss ups from players. You have to know the limits, you can not just freakin keep acting like a ******* to try and catch a ball and expect to be safe. Standing on that table is like standing on the bleacher railing above the bullpen trying to run. Unless you are some incredible gymnist with incredible balance and a ton of luck you should not be standing there. It is stupid, yea having a ball is cool but what good does a ball do when you can't enjoy it. In the case of the guy who tryed getting a ball for his kid I understand that BUT if that ball would have went into the area where he landed Hamilton would have probably hooked him up with a new one, players are really not that big of jackoffs when it comes to baseballs. They can give out like 2 a day then it cost them like $5 dollars or something so it is not like it cost them anything.nyc3 said:

That guy needs to have serious conversation with his buddy in the middle who decided it was a perfect moment to finally cop a feel of his a$$.

maybe he thought it could be his last chance. Id say that was pretty well executed timing by that guy. he was thinking hey i will look like im saving him but I will just firmly grab his ass maybe he will fall this could be my last hope.VizquelCollector said:

Heard about that this morning. Pretty crazy.
As far as the security guard comment, I wondered the same thing. It is one thing to fall over a railing 33 inches high that is not really high enough to hold a person from falling. It is another thing to climb up on a surface the way the guy did in the images. Someone should've made him come down. Granted, it may have happened so fast that security did not have time to ask him to get off the surface. Pretty quick thinking by his friends.
