Scary moment at Wrigley Field on Thursday night.
A fan fell from the left-center field bleachers onto the warning track, and had to be carted away by medical personnel. The game was in a rain delay at the time. Here's the scene:

The Associated Press says the fan was lying face down on the warning track as medical personnel raced from the dugout to provide assistance. The fan was put into a neck brace and strapped to a backboard.
There is a basket lining the top of the wall all the way around the outfield at Wrigley Field. It's unclear how the fan got over the basket, or whether he jumped intentionally or fell accidentally. You can see a sag in the basket where the fan fell in the photo above.
There has been no update on the fan's status.
