i swear everything that happens here in Japan is because people can't hold their liquor.

Wasn't there any security guards to stop these idiots climbing the fences?

The man stepped over the 1-meter fence and was watching the baseball game on the fence before falling onto the ground about 5 meters below..........and we are supposed to feel sorry for this fool?????

feel sorry for the person that has to clean up the mess he created after falling.

Being a Baystars fan, I can tell you that this is the only bit of excitement we have witnessed at Yokohama Stadium this year. Even then, however, the camera crews were asleep and failed to get the shot as this happened.

Darwinism indeed.

Baystars won last night after the Tigers pitchers fell apart in the 7th inning. Let's see. My sources tell me he fell out into
center field just after Hiiyama hit a 2 run shot to the left-center fence at the top of the 8th inning. Maybe he was reaching for the ball (which would have been a ground rule double had he touched it.)

I didn't see the game last night (TVK doesn't reach my house very well, damn it!) but there might be a replay of it here:

Hope he ends up okay.

Um, because they shouldn't have to spend the money for one since they have a fence to stop people. Can't say I feel sorry for this guy. Darwin indeed.
