R>I>P GOODBYE MY FELLOW AMERICAN itl only make your son stonger LIVE HAPPY IN HEAVON MR STONE its what god requested:"(

[Lyrosmos]

I honestly wish i had a father like this. a man who's last words would be "check on my son" instead of thinking of himself or asking the EMT's to help him and if he was going to live, he said "check on my son" i think the worlds greatest dad title most definitely needs to go to this man.

[KrazyKuul111]

I watched a video today of a frog being killed with strychnine. Is there a night and day difference between these two animals? Most would say yes but I say no.  Not enough to make that right and this wrong.

[shsmustangs]

To all you trolls out there, this is what a real man and being a father is all about. He took his young son to a baseball game, and paid the ultimate price for it. All he wanted was to make his son happy by catching a foul ball for him and so bond with him. Its amazing how some people can troll around about something that they obviously know nothing about. He was and still is more a man and a father than any of you trolls ever will be.

[IrenaPrude]

He fell like a stone off the stadium!

[dmoney313westside]

NO HOMO I ALMOST CRIED OVER A MANI NEVER BET HE DIED TRYING TO CATCH A BALL FOR HIS SON........his son for all u sick bitches out there like dogsheki1 fuck you and i want to ask ever one to pray 4 his son this could hunt him 4 his life he cn grow up thinkin its his fault tht his dad died bc of him so pray 4 him plzz why do god take such gud pple

Darwin Award winner! Shannon Stone is a DEAD idiot.

[reckinyostats]

[IrenaPrude]

@reckinyostats He is STILL dead!! Since he was a firefighter, he really should have known better. Fuck Shannon Stone, Fuck his son, fuck his family.

[Chadasdf]

@IrenaPrude lol. Obvious troll is obvious.

[reckinyostats]

@IrenaPrude go fuck your self you filthy pig i hope you burn in hell you piece of shit i almost cried to this I HOPE YOU DIE AND KNOW ONE WILL GIVE A FLYING PIECE FUCK ABOUT YOU GO DIE IN A CAR ACCIDENT NO ONE GIVES A SHIT FUCK YOU PRICK!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Alexa3b]

@reckinyostats There is something wrong with you

[Lindathemightywitch]

Bye Shannon, I'm sure you were a good dad. Lived a good life and followed what was good and right.

[Tbirds2012]

Dear Atheists, constantly telling people there isn't a GOD and what they believe in isn't true is the same as a Christian telling you you are going to hell for not believing in God. Sincerely, person that thinks it through.

[Pinkforestt]

@Tbirds2012 It's not the same idiot!

[Tbirds2012]

@Pinkforestt How so? Aren't the two forcing their own religious beliefs down somebody else's throat? Exact same situation. It doesn't matter if you believe in God, a different God, or nobody at all, what matters is that you treat that belief the way you want yours to be treated. If I'm wrong, please do explain.

[daleena19]

Safety implementations at these games!!!!! And while your at it call it STONE IT SAFE!

[daleena19]

When you think of it... His son had the mit. You know his whole intention was to catch it for his son. Now we would do anything for our kids and thats probably his purpose although not realizing the depth or what the cost would be. Yes you wouldnt throw yourself out there for a ball and yes its definitley not worth it but from watching this and being a parent myself he was probably trying to catch it for his son :(. Its just tragic.

[dukefont]

THAT IS NOT AN ACCIDENT THAT'S STUPIDITY A LIFE FOR A BALL... THIS AN EXAMPLE FOR THROW THEM SELF TO THE ARMS OD DEATH FOR SOMETHING THAT IN A COUPLE OF YEARS WILL BE IN A GARAGE SALE.

[RamsdenB]

Its a freak accident, this stuff happens rarely, what really chaps my ass off is that everyone on this video is blaming God? Really.... I guess the atheist try-hards can't give out a simple sympathy towards the family and respect their beliefs. Nope have to insult them because they believe in a God, really disrespectful and it makes the lot of you look like total douche-bags.

[Skillz4Skillet]

Wow. I saw this game live and saw him fall. It absolutely crushed me and everyone around me. Thoughts and prayers go out to his family and to Josh Hamilton.

[VolcanoRoses]

@CrazySaul713  God didn't help his father. In fact, your God made the son watch the death of his father.

[kilahchris]

Why is that railing so low? especially when there is a 20 foot gap downward. The Rangers should compensate the family.

[kilahchris]

What a Terrible tragedy.

Did he die of a heart attack or did the fall kill him?

[dougthecatcher]

I also wish his family the best of luck.

[jlq1]

great video

[crikey5446]

i heard they were going to auction the ball on ebay and give the money to his family.

[runemyth77]

@Brentsey FUCK OFF.. GO TROLL SOMEWEAR ELSE

[OnCloudNine62]

My God this is horrible!

[VolcanoRoses]

@OnCloudNine62 Your God, it is horrible!

[doodledoodledee]

BUT if you watch it in reverse it has a happy ending,kinda like Roots.

[trevanismith]

comments should be disabled for this video.

[MrCrimsonpanda]

ugghhh.... sad stuff, RIP

[sierrashleyy]

@Brentsey WHAT THE HECK!!!????

WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM!!!???

YOUR SICK!

[MrDaycen]

as much as i believe videos like this r sick, ill argue that if this werent so greatly publicized his family and friends would not get the same support they have received. All this swearing and fighting and pointing fingers is unnecessary and all the people cussing and calling people immature are being immature in doing so. It is what it is and its sad that it happened, hopefully his family is doing alright.

[tommoore2012]

@RedcoatMic24 shut up ya douche

[tommoore2012]

@Brentsey wwhhyyyyy?????

[vbjs18122002]

May Shannon rest in peace...Please pray for his son and his wife and his entire family...May God be with them on a daily basis,,and heal them of their lost in due time...God Bless all of them.....

[moran060]

Brentsey and @nflpanthers07. that man had a son.and he was around 10 years old.

now if you were him what would you feel like. and that man never done any thing to you so shut the hell up.

[cockwiper]

look on the bright side at least the rangers won the game

[Coastergeekperson04]

How come a video showing any sort of explosion is flagged as inappropriate but a video of a man falling to his death isn't?

[benjels]

every time i watch this and here about this i cry when i was onley about his age my dad pasted away in a car wreack and i stil pray for him and cry every night be for i go to bed and it has been like 5 years ago when that happend

[moran060]

@benjels it will be ok.if you could hear your dad he would be saying "be happy son"  rember that ok

[JonL1997new]

Might be a bad time, but damn do I love that song

[marcgonzales20]

my dad is a fire fighter and if i see my dad get killed like that i would run away forever beacause that is sad wheneever see your dad die in front of your eyes

[illmatic826]

May God bless this man & his family, I can just imagine how his son felt.

[VolcanoRoses]

@illmatic826 Unless you saw your father/mother dying a horrible death in front of you and "God" doing nothing to stop that horrible death, no, illmatic826, you can not imagine what Shannon's son felt. And is still feeling.

[VolcanoRoses]

@illmatic826 You are.

[VolcanoRoses]

@illmatic826 How strange... Suddenly there is no "God" in your reply.

[illmatic826]

@VolcanoRoses fuck you & eat a dick & dont comment me anymore, have a nice life loser

[RedcoatMic24]

Poor kid, seeing his dad die in front of him.

Strange to see all the people on here invoking God to make things better, funny, his help would have been pretty sweet in preventing it happening in the first place.

Oh well, guess he was looking the other way.

[MrDaycen]

@RedcoatMic24 EXACTLY

[oujochanejhimesama]

for those who are putting bad comments.. don't you have dads? what will you feel if that happens to your dads? respect the little boy.. he's the one who is in pain the most..

[oujochanejhimesama]

i know he's in heaven now, watching his son from up there.. what a loving father to think about his son even when he's in pain.. may he rest peacefully.. this news really made me cry :'(

[SpanishEyes701]

God this is just terrible. A loving father takes his son to a baseball game one afternoon, and ends up dead trying to catch a ball for his son. It brings tears to my eyes and pain to my heart. May God be with his family during this tragic time.

[broski520]

It's such a shame...He was just trying to catch a ball for his son. RIP

[ezgo77]

wtf? Was he drunk!?

[kingpho79]

"The Texas Ranger Baseball Foundation has also set up a memorial account in Stone's honor. The foundation will benefit Stone's 6-year-old son, Cooper and his wife, Jenny, who has asked for videos of the accident to be removed from broadcast outlets. " US News

[lemmebangya]

this is heartbreaking... I feel terribly sorry for his family. Rest In Peace Shannon Stone.

[clashingtyrants]

A firefighter in birkenstock sandals? Now, i've seen everything.

[runescapegamer1234]

question: was that black lady at 1:41 laughing at him? i see her teeth ...

[BBQFanNo1]

@smithtami707 Yes they all should be removed from internet.

[BBQFanNo1]

There is something serious wrong with anyone regardless of what part of the world you live in if your are joking about anything like this!

You have no conscience!

[BBQFanNo1]

May God give peace in His arms forever to Mr Shannon Stone & prayer for healing restoration to the Stone Family.

[VolcanoRoses]

@BBQFanNo1 "May God give peace in His arms forever to Mr Shannon Stone & prayer for healing restoration to the Stone Family." ...after, of course, having The Son watch His Father's Death and (God) doing nothing to prevent it. Amen.

[Vegas1Joker]

This is funny to watch

[moran060]

@Vegas1Joker you are really terrible.that man had a son. and he was 6. and u are saying that was funny. your just terbbile

[kaboygreen]

This is enough to make anyone cry, unbelievable that this happened

[kaboygreen]

This is so terrible :'(

[06k20z1]

holy shit, now that's fucked up. i feel bad for the kid, that moment will be with him forever. rip.

[Mojojojones]

Tragic. I am sorry for his family. RIP.

[TheFS1Productions]

Check out my video i got about 87 more pics and no replay of the fall.

[zepps88]

unbelievably heartbreaking. no child should ever have to witness their father's death. it'll be burned into his mind for his entire life.

[MrFlowwar]

@smithtami707 make the first step: delete your version of this vid.

[NCSportsMan70]

Feel so bad for that little boy

[dogsheki1]

so...

did he get the ball?

[nflpanthersO7]

@dogsheki1

see. shit comments like this. fuck you

[GhostDistortion]

@nflpanthersO7 Yeah it is shitty man. I think there are a lot of heartless people out there that somehow have dehumanized things like this. It's pretty sad bro.

[TheProlefeed1]

@GhostDistortion I was thinking that as well reading comments like that, TV was used to intentionally dehumanize people to the point that you're considered a square if you actually have a heart anymore.

[juanloko2]

@nflpanthersO7 honestly, the ball had everything to do with this.. If he hadn't robbed the man with the glove who was about to catch the ball. He would still be alive.

Greed is not good people, and Shannon Stone sets an unfortunate example

[Jacliena]

@juanloko2 he was trying to catch the ball for his kid. how can you be soo sick to talk about him in that way. it was not greed it was love. youtube should not have comments anymore, everyone grows invisible balls when they are on here. i would like to see you say that shit to his family.

[juanloko2]

@Jacliena I would say that to his family. This video shouldn't even be ON here. -Hey Ms. Stone, how did your husband die?, Ms. Stone: oh just look it up on youtube..- That even sounds wrong.

and yes, it was greed. He had a desire to get the ball for his kid, and he ended up paying for it

[Lightdion]

@dogsheki1 You are a HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE person!!!!!!

[TheLilairsofter]

@dogsheki1 fuck u go die

[tambay1ang]

@dogsheki1 are you asking for "thumbs up" or trying to be funny cause you see these kind of comments appear to be funny? NOT THIS IN THIS CASE. be more sensitive.

[karaw527]

@dogsheki1 What the fuck is wrong with you?

[jujegini24]

@dogsheki1 wats wrong with you it doesnt matter if got the ball, it matters if hes ok,

[mastrlegacy]

@dogsheki1 You should be banned from youtube. You're a piece of shit. I have no problem knowing that people like you are burning in hell.

[VolcanoRoses]

@dogsheki1

The difference between Shannon and you is that he died with three balls. It must be difficult to live with none, dogsheki1.

[Jerry420ification]

@dogsheki1 to bad it wasn't you who fell

[BeBootz11]

The widow has requested that all videos showing the accident be removed. I think you should honor her wishes as well. She has lost enough already, don't take this right away from her.

[MrSteelcock22]

they should definately raise all the railings just in case that never happens in every sports.

[MACHINIMA4]

Who disliked the video? What an asshole. 

[SlayerX007]

i literally was about to cry when i saw this video. this is very sad. nice job on the tribute video.

[rtl70]

Very sad...A day at the ballpark with your son..One minute enjoying the game with your son..the next fighting for your life..What I take from this is enjoy life in the moment (now) cause the next moment it could be over..Too Mr.Stones son and family,I say sorry and hope and pray you'll make it through this tragedy! R.I.P.

[facio559]

Sad to think a man and his boy going to see a baseball game and of all places death follows it's tragedy my heart go's out for Mr.stone and his family especially his son. nice tribute Connor.

[bigjames88]

At least the guy next to him tried his best to grab him, sucks that it happened though.

[thecarguy9195]

must be horrifying for the ranger that tossed the ball to him, the guy who tried to grab him and his whole family. my heart and prayer goes out to u

[sk8ter651]

i saw this it was so sad

[nflpanthersO7]

To Anyone Who Posts A Smart Ass Comment, Or A Rude Comment, Or Anything Like That, Have Fun In Hell. If You Post Something Like That, You Obviously Have Never Witnessed Death, Or If You Have, Then You Are Fucking Immature. You'll All Be Terrible Parents, And Karma Is A Bitch. So Fuck You All, Because I Know Someone Will Post Something Like That Becuase The World Is A Fucked Up Place.

[thunderstruck922]

@nflpanthersO7 thank you, finnaly someone who sets all the 'trollls' straight

[paradoxrip]

@nflpanthersO7 I hear ya panthers.... So many trolls now days. They think because of anonymity it's cool to be heartless and so stupid to TRY and be funny. Have a little respect you fucks. #1 he put his life on the line every day to save people more than all you trolls will ever do in your pathetic lives put together. #2 Have a little heart imagine when you were 6 and seeing one of your parents die right in front of you. Yeah. Figure it out you morons.

[RedcoatMic24]

@nflpanthersO7 Why are you capitalising each word?

[RightWingRebel]

@nflpanthersO7 I sure hope if you have kids you'll teach them not to capitalize every word.
