Another fan has died living the American Dream. Shannon Brown, a Texas Ranger fan, fell 20 feet onto hard concrete. Onlookers say that Brown lost his balance and fell over the outfield railing in an attempt to catch a foul ball from All Star outfielder Josh Hamilton. Nearby fan Ronnie Hargris tried to catch him but his efforts proved too slow as Brown fell head first. To make matters worse, Brown’s 8- year old son watched the whole ordeal and was then left in the stands as he was rushed out on a stretcher.
Within less than an hour, Brown was pronounced dead at a Fort Worth hospital.  Brown was a lieutenant for the Bronwood fire department and had been a fire fighter for 18 years. This isn’t the first time something like this has happened either. If you remember back in May, a 27 year old man died of the same death at a Colorado Rockies game. Josh Hamilton, as well as the rest of team, are very distraught over this accident.
