Fan Nearly Falls From Stands During Home Run Derby [VIDEO]

When I read the headline, I thought to myself "deja vu." On the same day that the memorial service for Shannon Stone was held, fellow MLB fan Keith Carmickle almost plunged to his death during the Home Run Derby. Who is Shannon Stone you ask?

Shannon Stone is the 39-year-old fan who died last week while reaching for a ball at Texas Stadium.

He dangled for a moment while cameras caught his near-fall before being pulled back up into his seat while the crowds below and above gasped in fear.
