Link: The Official Site of The Philadelphia Phillies: News: Fan narrowly averts disaster after fall . Adam Eaton shagged fly balls in the outfield and tossed one to a fan near the railing in left field. Another fan stepped in front, but leaned over too far. His weight propelled him over the railing. Luckily, he grabbed the railing with one arm as he fell to the warning track, allowing him to land on his feet, rather than his head. "It was one of the scariest things I've seen," Eaton said. A lot of Eaton's problems come from between his ears, but sometimes, trouble just follows this guy. I would not stand near him during a thunderstorm.

The monotonous batting-practice routine at Citizens Bank Park took an interesting and scary turn on Wednesday, when a fan tumbled from the stands trying for a souvenir. Adam Eaton shagged fly balls in the outfield and tossed one to a fan near the railing in left field. Another fan stepped in front, but leaned ...

Filed under: Philadelphia, Phillies, NL East, MLB FansYou'd think this year's spate of ballpark fatalities would have fans playing it a bit safer while enjoying a few hours at the yard. Alas, when it comes to a chance to put their mitts on a genuine big league baseball, all thoughts of self-preservation go out the window. We've all seen scrums for home runs and foul balls but the scariest thing about this story is that there's no judgment made about the ball's provenance. Adam Eaton shagged fly balls in the outfield and tossed one to a fan near the railing in left field. Another fan stepped in front, but leaned over too far. His ...
