Take the time out to pause and remember the tragedy which unfolded in Arlington, Texas, this past week. 39-year old Shannon Stone, a Texas firefighter, succumbed to his injuries after falling twenty feet from the stands at The Ballpark in Arlington, Texas, where the Texas Rangers play their home games during the season. The incident occurred as he attempted to catch a baseball tossed into the crowd by star Rangers outfielder Josh Hamilton. Shannon attended the baseball game with his son, Cooper, and he bought a new baseball glove for his son before driving to the game.
In the next game, both the Texas Rangers and the visiting Oakland Athletics paused to honour the memory of the departed Shannon Stone and wore black ribbons on their uniforms.
