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 Milwaukee Brewers and the state Department of Transportation on Monday unveiled the designs for the license plates featuring Brewers logos.
One features the ball-in-glove logo; the other is the contemporary "M" logo.
The plates were made available on Monday.
“In recent years, we have had numerous inquiries from fans about creating a Brewers-themed license plate, and we’re pleased to be able to make this a reality,” said Rick Schlesinger, the Brewers' executive president for business operations. “We want to thank the Wisconsin Department of Transportation for its work and interest in creating this opportunity.”
The Brewers plate fees include an issuance fee of $15, plus an annual $25 contribution that may be tax-deductible, in addition to the regular registration fee.
DOT will collect implementation costs for the new plates from the initial $25 donations. The Miller Park stadium district will receive the extra $25, less a 2% licensing fee to Major League Baseball. All proceeds received by the district will be fully and solely dedicated to the retirement of the Miller Park stadium construction debt.
Information is available online beginning today at this Web site. Applications for Brewers plates, including personalized plates, will be accepted by mail or in person at Wisconsin DOT offices.
