During a recent game at PNC Park between the Pirates and Cubs, a disturbing incident occurred when a fan fell from the right field bleachers onto the warning track. Andrew McCutchen's double in the seventh inning preceded the fall. Prompt reactions from fellow spectators and stadium personnel, including Pittsburgh EMS, ensued as players expressed their concern by kneeling and praying. The injured fan was immediately treated and transported to Allegheny General Hospital with unconfirmed updates on his condition. The incident caused about a 10-minute game delay.
