During a recent Pirates vs. Cubs game, a fan fell from the right field bleachers, causing panic and concern among players and spectators. Andrew McCutchen's two-run double had just given the Pirates the lead when the incident occurred. The fan, reported to be in critical condition with a skull fracture, prompted immediate calls for medical assistance from the Pirates' dugout. Manager Derek Shelton addressed the incident post-game, emphasizing the need for prayers and commending the medical staff's swift response.
The man, who is in his 20s, suffered a skull fracture, according to KDKA in Pittsburgh.
I want to offer thoughts and prayers with the incident that happened earlier in the game, said Pirates manager Derek Shelton.
It's extremely unfortunate. That's an understatement, reflected Pirates manager Derek Shelton after witnessing the incident.
Chilling videos from the game showed a fan in the seventh inning falling over the rail in the right-field seats, situated 21 feet above the ground.
