Texas Ranger Fan Who Died from Fall at Ballpark to Get Statue
The Texas Rangers fan killed last month when he fell from the stands at Rangers Ballpark while reaching for a ball will be remembered with a bronze statue at the Arlington stadium.
The Rangers announced Monday the statue will depict Brownwood firefighter Shannon Stone and his 6-year-old son Cooper at a Rangers game. The statue likely will be in place for next season outside the park’s home plate gate.
Rangers CEO and President Nolan Ryan said it’s a fitting tribute to honor Stone and recognize Rangers fans and baseball fans.
Stone’s wife, Jenny, said her family was “touched and grateful” and hoped the sculpture would be a reminder of “the importance of a family’s love – love of each other, love of spending time together, and love of the game.”
