The Pittsburgh Pirates were up against the Chicago Cubs when a bizarre incident took place. During the bottom of the seventh inning, Andrew McCutchen recorded an RBI double to help his team take the lead.
While Pittsburgh took a one-run lead against the Cubs (4-3), a fan from the stands appeared to jump and fall onto the warning track. It was horrifying footage to watch, and MB fans are doubting whether he fell down by accident or jumped off his seat. Here are some reactions from X.

“No way that was an accident. Nobody gets that excited over a baseball game in April for the Pirates to launch themselves over a protective wall. I still hope he’s alright,” one fan wrote.
