Scary incident at yesterday's game...

NickPapagiorgio · 07-01-2007, 10:12 AM

I was wondering if those watching on TV or radio may have heard a bit more about this. Around the fourth inning or so (while the Mets were batting) there was an incident along the third base line. At first everyon in our section (out by the LF foul pole) thought it was fight being broken up but after a few minutes it clearly wasn't. There was someone down and they were doing chest compressions for the entire time the Mets were up at the plate. As someone who as been involved in far too many of those situations at work, I am sure it did not end well but sometimes miracles happen. I couldn't see when they eventaully put him on the stretcher and took him to the ambulance but I can't think of a more traumatic experience for the gentleman's family (or whoever came to the game with him) and for the people, especially any kids in the area. I have my fingers crossed that it turned out alright and it really put the meaninglessness of the beaseball game in perspective.

Sorry to say the gentleman died.

I was perusing PhilaPhans for sh*ts and giggles...which, BTW, there were MANY, but someone at the game said they tried to revive him but to no avail.

Of course, that person was at the game, I think, so they could be wrong with what happened after the person was taken out.

This is what I figured. They were working on him for about 20 mins. Truly sad.

Holy ****...that wasn't a fight? We were on the the thrid base line, but closer to home plate. Wow.

not to be trivial, but if I was going to go out, might as well be at a baseball game on a nice day

Any idea how old the guy was?

I brought this up last year. My family and I were at the Mets/Cardinals game and while heading up the the mezzanine section we witnessed a fairly large man outside one of the tunnels getting chest compressions. We were all settled in our seats before we even heard the sirens heading into the stadium. Shouldnt there be an ambulance/defibulators at the stadium for all games?
