If you've forgotten the story of the Stones, it's a horribly sad one: Shannon Stone fell to his death at a Rangers game in 2011, trying to catch a ball for his 6-year-old son, Cooper. Former Rangers outfielder Josh Hamilton tossed the ball toward the Stones, who were in the left-field stands, and Shannon lost his balance, landing headfirst. The Rangers honored Shannon, a firefighter of 18 years in Brownwood, Tx., with a statue unveiled in April 2012.

Two years later, it looks like that? How quickly Rangers fans forget.

It's probably the only way they can find a bunch of guys standing around in a field entertaining. Baseball is so boring that it's ridiculous.

Anyways, this was due to a combination of a lack of trash cans and immense laziness (what sports fan isn't?), why no trash cans? Because stadiums around the country have cut back due to their potential use as a place to put bombs, yep, everyone's so fucking paranoid that we no longer can be trusted with receptacles for trash. Anyways, Ranger's fans are actually pretty respectful and peaceful, at least compared to fans in places like Philadelphia and New York. This singular instance can be more readily attributed to the lack of workers, although, considering this was probably during the densest parts of pedestrian traffic, it's likely that the build up accumulated faster than it could reasonably be picked up at all. Does that excuse the people who did it? Fuck no, screw those lazy disrespectful asshats.
