Grief and Questions After Death at Ballpark - NYTimes.com



Grief and Questions After Death at Ballpark - NYTimes.com: "ARLINGTON, Tex. — Josh Hamilton doesn’t make a habit of tossing baseballs to fans in the stands, so when he fielded a foul ball early in Thursday night’s game against the Oakland Athletics, he did what he usually does — he turned it over to the ball girl along the left-field line at Rangers Ballpark.

Shannon Stone, 39, tumbled over a railing Thursday and was fatally injured after catching a ball thrown to him by Rangers outfielder Josh Hamilton.  As he did, though, he heard a shout from behind the left-field fence. There stood a father and son, the two of them in the first row of an elevated bank of seats. “Hey, Hamilton, how about the next one?” the father asked."
