Josh Hamilton and the Texas Rangers were devastated Thursday night after a fan fell from the stands trying to grab a ball tossed by the All-Star center fielder and later died."It's sad, it's very sad," Rangers manager Ron Washington said following a 6-0 victory over the Oakland Athletics.A man attending the game with his young son fell about 20 feet to the ground, the Rangers and Arlington fire officials said.
The accident occurred in the second inning after Oakland's Conor Jackson hit a foul ball that ricocheted into left field. Hamilton retrieved the ball and tossed it into the stands. Replays on Oakland's television broadcast show the man reaching for the ball and apparently catching it before tumbling over the rail.
