SI.com: Fan nearly falls from Chase Field stands during Home Run Derby

Chasing a home run hit by Milwaukee’s Prince Fielder, Carmickle was saved from a long fall when his brother and a friend grabbed him around the legs and arms, then pulled him back as he dangled above the deck area behind the pool in right field at Chase Field.

Trying to snare a towering shot by Fielder, Carmickle stepped up onto a metal table about 18 inches wide and reached down to catch the ball. It hit a wall several feet below Carmickle. His momentum carried him forward, headfirst over a short railing at the back of the table.

Some people really don’t learn lessons well.  There’s been talk about making stadiums safer, but there’s really nothing you can do to eliminate stupidity.

UPDATE: From SFGATE.com, here’s a picture of the dumbass, Keith Carmickle standing on the table waiting to catch a home run ball.

SI.com: Ohio governor praises Mavs win

Without naming James, Kasich’s resolution commends the Mavericks for their “loyalty, integrity and teamwork.” He also makes them honorary Ohioans.

Cleveland can’t produce a championship team so Gov. Kasich adopts one for them.  I think Cleveland needs to get over LeBron just like we’re all done with Carson Palmer.
