2nd time someone died in 1 season? thats ridiculous. put signs or nets or whatever you gotta do... 1 death can be caulked up to lesson learned... 2nd death is unacceptable.

Yeah. Apparently, the ball was thrown to them by a staff member of the stadium/team. I smell a lawsuit coming their way.

To be honest, the rails there aren't dangerous looking. If they were high to the point that someone CAN'T fall off, then they would just block the view.

It comes down to personal responsibility, really. Don't lean so far that you could fall or even take the chance. This guy wasn't doing anything dangerous. It was just an accident.

A short time after firefighter Shannon Stone, the 39-year-old who fell 20 feet to his death at Rangers Ballpark, was laid to rest in Texas, Keith Carmickle of Kingman, Arizona, nearly met his maker in the exact same fashion at Chase Field while going after a Prince Fielder homer during last night’s Home Run Derby.

Luckily, Carmickle’s brother and a friend managed to grab his legs and arms, saving him from a 20-foot drop to the pool deck below. “I thought: I’ve lived a good life,” Carmickle is quoted as saying.

Yankees second baseman Robinson Canó won the derby.
