Its one thing to die, but dying in front of your children, after a happy night at the ballpark is just cruel.
Falling over an escalator..
Plus, he never gets to his his 3rd child. Sad.
In all honesty... I wonder if his family will still continue to be Mets fans? or even baseball fans for that matter.
I could never be one of those girls in the future explaining to my little brother/sister, the currently unborn child, how Daddy died.

R.I.P. Its horrible that his daughters had to witness that. Even worse that his wife is pregnant with their 3rd child. I hope she puts up with this sad tragedy and the baby is born healthy.

This is awful. Two kids watching him die like that and his wife pregnant with a child who'll never know its father.
RIP

I heard he was trying to slide down the rail or something? I've never been to a MLB game so I don't understand how this happened
