Idiot nearly falls from the stands chasing a ball at the Home Run Derby

Just days after Shannon Stone died from a fall while reaching for a baseball at a Texas Rangers game, a fan at last night’s Home Run Derby nearly fell out of the outfield stands while lunging for a home run ball hit by Prince Fielder.  He was spared serious injury or death only because his friends grabbed him by his feet, held him and then pulled him back as he dangled over the railing above a concrete deck 20 feet below.







Monkey sees a monkey die, monkey still tries, and monkey almost dies.

Insanity!  That is the word that comes to mind when I see these sports fans willing to risk their lives for a sticking ball! 

If only they would put that much enthusiasm into liberty, the tyrants wouldn't have it so easy!!

Of course this just proves history does repeat itself, the Roman's knew how to distract the citizens with bread and circuses too!
