Man dies at Shea Stadium
It’s sad that Shea Stadium is going to be torn down soon. Seems like baseball has become so much of a business that there’s no value for nostalgia or tradition. Yankee Stadium is going too. Pretty soon Wrigley Field will be gone.
At least the Mets won. When you read the article, it says at first that the man was at the game with his family. Later on, however, the article revels that his pregnant wife and two other children were at home. So what’s this guy doing? Getting toasted at the baseball game with his cousins? I don’t know, but this sure is a sad story.
NEW YORK — A man attending a New York Mets game with his family lost his balance on an escalator and fell two stories to his death, police said.
Antonio Nararainsami, 36, and several relatives, including his two young daughters, were leaving the stadium at the end of Tuesday night’s game against the Washington Nationals when he fell in a section below the left field stands and landed on a concrete floor. Nararainsami, a Guyanese native who lived in Brooklyn, was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead half an hour later.
Kevin Prashad, a cousin who attended the game, said Nararainsami was walking down the escalator, which wasn’t moving, and was holding the hand rail when he “lost his footing.”
