Holyyyyy! This is absolutely crazy!
A fan of Major League Baseball fell over 20 feet from the PNC Park bleachers in right field Wednesday night, falling right into the ground during the seventh inning between the Chicago Cubs and Pirates in Pittsburgh.
Andrew McCutchen, the star right fielder for the Pirates, knocked a two-run double to give the Bucs a 4-3 lead, but in the process of this, Pirates players were yelling at the umpires and security in an attempt to make them aware about the fan laying on the warning track after falling.
The contest was halted for around 10 minutes while medical personnel worked. They placed the fan onto a backboard, put them onto a medical cart and they were then removed from the ballpark.
A video that’s been circulating around social media shows the fan falling over the railing and then taking about a 20-feet fall right into the ground. McCutchen was shown on the television broadcast while on second base with his hand on his head, looking in disbelief. Chicago players were seen taking a knee.

It’s not currently known regarding the well-being of the fan.
Following the game, Pittsburgh issued a statement on the matter.
“Tonight, during the seventh inning of the game at PNC Park, an adult male fell from the right field bleachers onto the field of play,” the Pirates said. “Pittsburgh EMS, as well as the Pirates and Cubs training teams and other PNC Park personnel reacted and responded immediately and administered care. He was transported to Allegheny General Hospital. No further information is available at this time.
“Our thoughts and prayers are with him and his family.”
