A Chicago Cubs fan fell about head first over a railing at Miller Park as he attempted to catch a foul ball during batting practice this weekend. The 14-foot fall sent the 20-something Cubbies fan to the hospital.

A Brewers spokesperson said it is against club policy to comment, but the team's head athletic trainer Roger Caplinger said that man cut his face and was bleeding. The fan was conscious and taken off the field by first responders.

The incident held up batting practice for about 10 minutes.

The man who fell is in his early 40's and he is currently still hospitalized in critical condition. He broke both legs, both arms, has an injury to his aorta, along with other injuries. He is not responding to current treatment at this time. He had cardiac arrest last night but hospital staff was able to revive him. He nees surgery but due to other complications can not get that done at this time. Send healing thoughts to Stuart S. He is from the Fox Cities area and a family friend.
