A fan at PNC Park fell over the outfield wall and onto the track on Wednesday night during the Pittsburgh Pirates’ matchup with the Chicago Cubs.
In the seventh inning of the contest, a man in the right field section at PNC Park suddenly was seen falling headfirst over the outfield wall and crashing down onto the dirt during the middle of a play. The person appeared to jump up before flipping multiple times on his way down about 21 feet to the warning track.

The fan remained down motionless for several minutes a players and officials started to realize what had happened. The incident came right after Andrew McCutchen hit a two-run double, which put the Pirates up 4-3 at the time.
After being tended to for about five minutes, the fan was eventually loaded up onto a stretcher and taken off of the field and to a local hospital. He was seen with blood on his face, and first responders continued to treat him as they drove off. Details about his condition are not yet known.
The game resumed after about a 10 minute delay. Players on both teams were visibly shaken up during the incident. A second person jumped down onto the field in what appeared to be an effort to help the fan who fell, too.
The Pirates held on to grab the one-run win once the game got going again.
This post will be updated with more information shortly.

NHL playoffs Game 6 previews: The key matchup to watch in each series
Matchups matter in the regular season. But everything is amplified in the playoffs. Playing the matchup game against a rotating cast of 31 teams is one thing. It’s another to do it against the same team for up to seven consecutive games. Pre-scouting helps players learn each other’s tendencies in advance. But going head-to-head can take that familiarity of habits and styles to new heights. AdvertisementIf one matchup tilts in one direction, coaches can try to tweak tactics and adjust deployment when the series shifts back to home ice to change that. Others can take advantage of potential weak points with last change. It’s a pivotal part of playoff hockey — an element that sometimes can decide a game or series. With five teams looking to extend their season another game, and five looking to advance to Round 2, let’s take a closer […]
What is fandom like for an executive? How David Stearns stays connected to the Knicks
NEW YORK — For a segment of the New York Mets’ fan base, their getaway day game Thursday against the Diamondbacks is serendipitously timed. It frees up the night to watch Game 6 of the Knicks’ first-round series against the Pistons.Among those happy about that dynamic? David Stearns.The Mets’ president of baseball operations grew up cheering for the Knicks as rabidly as he did for the team he now runs. The 40-year-old Stearns came of age right as Pat Riley took over and the Knicks commenced their annual playoff battles with the Bulls, Pacers and eventually Riley’s Heat.AdvertisementSo, with the Knicks looking to advance in the playoffs for a third consecutive year, I chatted with Stearns about rooting for the Knicks during their last heyday in the 1990s, how it differed from rooting for the Mets, and what it’s like […]
LeBrun: With Avalanche on the ropes, the pressure rises on their championship core
DENVER — There is a display case outside the Colorado Avalanche dressing room with a mini replica Stanley Cup and a large photo of Gabriel Landeskog raising the real thing over his head in June 2022.I remember leaving the arena in Tampa that night thinking the Avs were just opening their championship window. That like Tampa Bay, Chicago and Pittsburgh before them, we were about to witness multiple Stanley Cup wins by this Avalanche core led by Landeskog, Nathan MacKinnon, Cale Makar, Valeri Nichushkin and Mikko Rantanen.AdvertisementThen stuff happened. Landeskog didn’t play again for three years, his career nearly ended by a knee injury. Nichushkin started but didn’t finish the next two playoff years for well-documented reasons. The team also dearly missed Nazem Kadri after he left for free agency in the summer of 2022.Whatever reasoning one wants to attach […]
With one big swing, Anthony Santander sparks Blue Jays’ struggling bats
TORONTO — Bo Bichette and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. stood patiently at home plate waiting for Anthony Santander. The Toronto Blue Jays’ big bopper took his time, admiring a monster homer to right field before skipping into the slowest of jogs around the bases.The Blue Jays’ designated hitter soaked up every second of his seventh inning home run trot, finally meeting his teammates at the plate for choreographed handshakes that haven’t seen much use this year. Santander’s three-run homer evened the score in an eventual 7-6 extra innings win over the Red Sox. It was the Blue Jays’ third long ball of the contest, the first time they hit three or more in a game this season, capping an offensive explosion Santander and Toronto desperately needed.Advertisement“Hopefully that gets him going a little bit,” manager John Schneider said. “That’s exactly why we […]
