The guy wasn't even within 20 feet of the ball and he's still leaning out over the railing... moron.

pretty soon parks are going to be putting up tall railings to stop idiots from doing this

A stadium full of mattresses.

Awesome, more obstructed view seats are just what the game needs. They'll put up tall railings, but the railings will have cross bars (so you don't fall under them) and idiots will simply stand on the cross bars when going after balls in the stands, then when someone inevitably falls, they have a longer way down. Then Vin will point out how it is not wise to lean way over a railing to catch a $2 ball and everyone will pile on him.

Or perhaps a taller rail, with a banner/sign running across? Similar to the front row of seats at Kinnick, only taller. That way, they can't fall under them (I feel stupid for even typing that), and they have nothing to stand on to get higher. #problemsolving

Issue Michelin-man-type PPE to any fans sitting in the first two rows of any area in any stadium.
