A Mets fan leaving the game last night lost his balance while descending an escalator at Shea Stadium and plummeted two stories to his death - as his two young daughters watched in horror, authorities said.

Antonio Narainasami, 36, of Brooklyn, was with several other relatives on a family outing, when the tragedy took place around 10 p.m. in Section A near left field.

At home was the fan's wife, who is pregnant with their third child.

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.. :nonono:

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
