A spectator fell 10 metres from the second deck onto the field level seats while leaning to catch a foul ball at Rangers Ballpark during the fifth inning of Tuesday night's game between the Cleveland Indians and Texas Rangers.

Nelson Cruz of the Rangers had fouled a pitch into the club level in Section 235 along the first-base line in the fifth inning.

The ball hit a seat behind the spectator, who was reaching to snag it before losing his balance and tumbling backward onto the seats below.
