Shannon Stone Falls 20 Feet to His Death Trying to Catch Foul Ball at Rangers Game in Texas

SHOCK: Shannon Stone, 39, fell to his death in front of his seven year old son, Cooper, as he tried to catch a foul ball at the Texas Rangers Ballpark. Stone, a firefighter, called out 'please check on my son. My son was up there by himself,' the Daily Mail reports, as he fell 20 feet and landed on concrete. Officials said he was conscious after the fall but "went into full arrest" as he was transported to the hospital by ambulance. He was pronounced dead a short time later at a local Fort Worth hospital. Former president George W. Bush, who used to be the team's managing general partner, was sitting in the front row with Nolan Ryan near the Texas dugout when the accident happened. Rangers outfielder Josh Hamilton had tossed ball up after he called for it, the Daily Mail said. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family of Shannon Stone.
