The Pittsburgh Pirates fan who fell more than 20 feet onto the field at PNC Park has been identified as Kavan Markwood, a 20-year-old former college football player, according to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.
Markwood was at the center of a haunting scene Thursday in the seventh inning of the Pirates' game against the Chicago Cubs after he tumbled over a railing in right field and onto the warning track. He was motionless and shirtless as EMS and the teams' trainers attended to him, and was eventually taken off the field on a stretcher. The game was then resumed, ending as a 4-3 Pirates win.
