->> "Those rails aren't even waist high."
The problem is if they put them at a "normal" height it obscures the viewing of the people sitting in the front row. tragic situation... |

->> I was photographing the Rangers game almost exactly a year ago when the fan fell from the upper deck, and yes Doug, you would think they would've...
Maybe they can install netting in between the outfield walls and the stands? Just a thought.
So tragic. |

->> I feel badly for the man's family and for Josh Hamilton, who tossed up the ball.
I suspect lawsuits will be forthcoming and players, staff, etc. will no longer be allowed to toss balls to fans.
So sad for everyone involved. |
