The fan, whose identity was not released, fell head-first behind the 14-foot wall that houses the replay monitor and scoreboard. He was rushed to hospital and pronounced dead.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe spoke to the ballclub, they understand what has happened, and we spoke to Josh,\u201d said Rangers president Nolan Ryan. \u201cI think as any of us would be, Josh is very distraught over this, as the entire team is.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jeter gets hit No. 2,998<\/strong><\/p>\n

New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter doubled off Jeff Niemann on Thursday night to notch career hit No. 2,998. When he reaches 3,000, he\u2019ll be the 28th<\/sup> major-leaguer to do so. <\/p>\n

Hall-of-Famer George Brett, a member of the 3,000 hit club, said Thursday that he thinks it will take Jeter several at bats to get No. 3,000 because of nerves. <\/p>\n

\u201cI think he\u2019ll really, really have to breathe and relax and not really think about it,\u201d Brett said. <\/p>\n

\u201cOnce he does that, I think he\u2019s going to be able to do it.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
