bmwohio Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 Such a sad story.....with his son right there next to him......damn that sucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drewhop Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 I can understand Josh feeling bad. But I guess I would feel better knowing it wasnt his hit that "directly caused it" I was expecting a line drive to the temple or throat or something.

TTQ B4U Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 When I saw this on the news this morning I looked right over at my 8yr old as he and I took in a beautiful day with the clippers last Wednesday afternoon. I couldn't imagine if something like this happened and he was there to witness it. The guy's kid was all dressed up and had his glove on too. Being 8-10 yrs old too, you know damn well he won't forget what happened to his dad. I guess the bright side is he died having a good time with his son.

ImUrOBGYN Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 Im sorry, am I the only one who think's he's an idiot? Besides, he should've just let his son catch the ball instead of ball hoggin'. This is how he died. A firefighter. That's the part that's sad. I wonder how many other people need to throw themselves over the rail before they put us all behind a chain link fence to watch the game... Sorry, just not feeling particularly sympathetic towards the dad. I do, however, feel very poorly for the son and family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwashmycar Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 He reached out and probably just slipped. Granted he probably reached too far. Flip flops are not the most solid shoe to balance on either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he was just innocently going to catch the ball that was flipped up towards them in the stands. I didn't see him ball hoggin when I saw the video. Meh....

Cordell Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 I just feel bad for his kid, poor guy will be scared for life. I saw it on the news this morning and that was my first thought, sucks to go out that way too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jizzle Juice Posted July 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 If you look the guy right next to him had his glove in the same spot and could have easily caught the ball. It sucks and that kid will prob hate baseball for the rest of his life. Hope he has a mother to take care of him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flip flops are not the most solid shoe to balance on either Good point. I know sometimes people don't realize they're risking their lives for something stupid at that moment. Hell, we all risk it for some stupid shit at some point. I think he was just innocently going to catch the ball that was flipped up towards them in the stands. I didn't see him ball hoggin when I saw the video. Meh.... POV. Tomato, Tomatoe. heh Whatever. My empathy is at its lowest levels earlier in the day. My mood and everything else improves as it gets later/darker. I'm super friendly and caring in the evening/night. Get with me, then.

Quit 9months ago. You're just trying to get more people to go into the woods with you. Well, what do you expect when my little buddy moves back to Texas?

DaddyBuiltRacing Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 He's the 2nd person in 2 years to flip over the rails at the Rangers ball park. They raised the rails from 36in to 48 in (I believe those are the measurements) due to a fan tumbling over last year. I remember being a little kid and catching a foul ball or homerun ball was the coolest thing in the world while at a MLB game. Today if I catch them I just give em to the first little kid I see sitting around me (have done it a few times at clipper games in recent years). I imagine the dad was trying to get his son the ball, instead it ended bad. BTW off topic a little bit, but I am friends with the pitcher who was on the mound for that game.

He went for a foul ball and lost his ballance, that's far from being an idiot. Had he of lost his balance one row further back he'd still be alive. How many times have you made a mistake, that if the circumstances were even slightly different, you would have died. Does that make you an idiot? no. At the end of the day, we are all fortunate to be here, and things like this should just be a reminder to always be aware of your surroundings. A momentary lack of judgement, certainly doesn't make someone an idiot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wouldn't half ass other things before putting yourself on the line, would you? This has already been hashed over within this thread. Though, I did word it in a way that can be taken harshly, I felt I explained myself thoroughly and standby everything I said as a whole in this thread.
