Tragedy at the Texas Rangers Game

As I was driving to work, I was listening to sports radio as I always do. I was half listening to score updates when I heard some tragic news. A man at the Texas Rangers game was going for a ball thrown up into the stands by Josh Hamilton fell 20 ft onto concrete. He was severely injured and later passed away. I later found out he was there with his kid. 

There's nothing like being at a ballgame with your kid and as a fan I think getting a ball is on everybody's bucket list. I was lucky enough to get one with  my son a few years back and it's definitely a moment we'll remember. It's tragic what happened to this fan and my thoughts go out to his family. I wish it could have ended up as a great moment between father and son as they head home checking out the souvenir they just got. Sad sad story.
