An MLB fan sustained significant injuries on Wednesday evening in a fall of a PNC Park -Buitenwand … and the scene was so horrible, Pirates Manager Derek Shelton Afterwards asked “everyone to keep him in their prayers.”
The frightening situation unfolded in the seventh inning of the Pirates vs. Cubs -Matchup … When a man jumped from his chair in the right field – and then suddenly all the way to the warning track that was about 20 feet under him.

He seemed to turn in the air several times before he poured on the floor.
Trainers immediately ran him up, although he never seemed to be moving. He was eventually tied to a stretcher … and taken to a nearby hospital.
Neither Shelton nor his team had an update about his condition after the conclusion of the game … but the Pittsburgh coach was clearly rattled by the incident.
“It’s extremely unfortunate,” he said when tackling the case … Before he adds: “I mean, that’s an understatement.”

The match was delayed while the man was cared for – although the game eventually resumed. The Pirates won, 4-3 … but it is clear, the outcome of the game was the furthest of someone’s heads.
