Fan who fell Monday from Coors Field stairs dies

Witnesses told police the man was trying to slide down the staircase railing, lost his balance and fell, striking his head. The stairs lead to the center field seats.

Glad someone else dug this thread out, so now I can pose the question that for some reason occurred to me earlier today. I forget why, but something reminded me of Hideo Nomo, and I started thinking back to him and Ichiro as well (when Ichiro first came to the US), there were some people who were whining and bitching about how these players from Japan shouldn't be eligible for ROY awards, because after all, they weren't true rookies. I suppose these same sorts would then also demand that all Japanese league records be regarded as official, major league records? I remember Harold Reynolds in particular was on about this when Ichiro first burst on to the scene, though he was hardly the only one.

Alright, this wasn't so much of a question as it was a pointing out of what should have been obvious.

I am alternately proud and ashamed to have graduated from the same high school as Harold Reynolds.

I can sort of see their point though not really. Imagine if that really old guy on the Mets a year or two won it. The relief pitcher who was like 39 or 40. That would be kinda stupid, but I guess a rookie is a rookie.

There was also the year Matsui lost to Angel Berroa and a lot of people thought Matsui should win. They could/should put an age limit on the ROTY award, as hockey does.

Actually, they should do a lot more things like hockey does. I'm pretty sure there have been votes in recent years going to guys who weren't even eligible for the ROTY because they had exceeded the threshold for rookie status.
no offense but you are everything that's wrong with America

This is incredibly similar to what happened after game 2 of the 2008 NLCS at CBP. Phils beat the Dodgers to go up 2-0 in that series, and a fan did a very similar thing just behind sections 418/419/420...somewhere in that range. The Phils, somehow, managed to keep this extremely quiet. I emailed a few of the beat writers at the time attempting to find out what eventually happened to the fan, and the only response I received was from Paul Hagen saying he had heard nothing about it but would look into it. I emailed him for a follow-up a month or so later but did not hear back from him again.

I recall discussing it with someone here at BSG who also witnessed it (not the actual fall, but the fan being attended to on the ground...as was my experience), and that individual knew someone who knew someone in the Philly medical arena who thought they had heard the fan had a serious brain injury. That's about all I ever learned after the fact, but the story from onlookers at the scene was that he had attempted to ride the railing down and upon reaching the landing between the two portions of the staircase, had flipped over the railing and fallen to the concrete mezzanine below.

I saw a guy do that at a Phish concert. He was totally naked, with cops chasing him.
you sure do seem to have a lot of time on your hands to be on this forum? Do you have a job? Are you a shut-in?

"Roy Halladay has the most control on his pitch in the game," says Kingrey. "And he has this really mean slider that's amazing against right-handers. The Astros only have two lefties in their lineup. I'd throw it low and to the right and then they would swing and miss."

Once he gets the million-dollar check, Kingrey says he and his wife plan to pay off their house, cars and student loans as well as other miscellaneous debts. Then the spending spree hits a high note: They're planning to buy a refrigerator.

Yup. Forget lavish trips or some other mad use of the money. The Kingreys got married last October and they're currently using a mini-fridge in their kitchen, the same kind you'll find in pretty much any dorm room in the country.

This guy would argue that a 40+ year old winning that award is not stupid.

The Phils are great and all, don't get me wrong, but looking over things, I have only one observation about 2011 MLB at this point in the season: good heaves does the NL suck this year.

That is awful about Carter. Really awful.

I don't know. The entire Al Central and West look pretty bad right now aside from Cleveland.
