Ranger Fan Dies Trying To catch A Ball.

ARLINGTON, Texas — A Texas Rangers fan died after falling about 20 feet onto concrete reaching out for a baseball tossed his way by All-Star outfielder Josh Hamilton during a game.

Shannon Stone, a 39-year-old firefighter from Brownwood, died at a hospital Thursday night, the Tarrant County Medical Examiner's Office said.

Stone was a lieutenant and had been with the Brownwood Fire Department nearly 18 years, said City Manager Bobby Rountree. Brownwood is about 150 miles southwest of Arlington.

Stone was at the game with his young son, who watched as his dad tumbled over the outfield railing after catching the ball.

Arlington Fire Department officials said Stone, who witnesses said was conscious after the fall, "went into full arrest" while being transported by ambulance. He was pronounced dead at a Fort Worth hospital less than an hour after he fell.

I feel horrible for his son who witnessed his dad falling and the family will be in my prayers.

Except, he never caught the ball. I mean, it was never even in his glove. It actually looked like he was trying to commit suicide. Was he even looking at the ball?

@Theblocker5 shit, most "fireman" I know sit around all day eating food, sleeping, and playing basketball. Get paid a fat sum to pull out a few small fires throughout the year. They should be paid by the hour, only when fighting fire, period.
