Was just watching the Indians vs Rangers game and a fan fell from the second deck down to the first.

The reaction of all the players and umpires was crazy. All of the players pulled off the field.

Fan taken off in a stretches looks to be concious.

Good news. The fan was responsive and moving all of his extremities.

Hopefully the good news continues.

Just the reactions were making me cringe, especially with how the home plate ump couldn't even look at it happening.

Hope the guy comes out alright.

Every ballpark has those short railings in the upper decks that I'm shocked it doesn't happened more often. Glad to hear he's going to be okay.

Almost a tragedy.

Glad he's OK.
Basketball is driven by three principles:

1) Movement 2) Application of fundamentals 3) Predictability
