CHICAGO -- A man was carted off Wrigley Field and hospitalized after he slipped and fell while attempting to jump from the bleachers before a game between the Atlanta Braves and Chicago Cubs on Thursday night.The Cubs, who didnt identify the man, said in a statement the fan was injured after attempting to jump onto the field. They didnt provide his condition.The man, dressed in shorts and sneakers, was face down just in front of the ivy in right-center field when officials started running from the dugouts to assist him. They immediately checked his pulse while a medic ran in from right field.It took three people to turn the man over onto his back. They then pulled up his shirt and put on a brace to stabilize his neck before strapping him onto a backboard and loading him into a cart.Cubs outfielder Albert Almora Jr. and pitching coach Chris Bosio also went out to the outfield to check on the man.The man was taken to Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center.We will remain in contact with the fans family to stay updated on his progress, the team said.There was a visible dip in the yellow fencing at the top of the 11 1/2-foot wall above where the man was treated. The Wrigley Field bleachers are known for for their party-like atmosphere and sometimes rowdy behavior.The fan was hurt just after 7 p.m., about the scheduled start time, but the tarp was on the field because of earlier heavy rain. The game later began after a delay of 1 hour, 35 minutes.The incident occurred five years to the night after firefighter Shannon Stone died after falling out of the stands during a Texas Rangers home game. The man, reaching out to get a foul ball tossed into the stands, fell onto concrete behind the left-field wall.Last August, Gregory Murrey died after falling from the upper deck to the lower-level seating area during a Braves game at Turner Field in Atlanta. ultra boost schweiz .

I think that we all saw the Canucks/Flames line brawl just after puck drop. It was obvious that something was about to happen, even to the referees because the fourth lines were on to start. BROOKLYN, Mich. -- When Kyle Larson was trying to hold off Chase Elliott at Michigan International Speedway last weekend, this much was certain: One of them was going to win a Sprint Cup race for the first time.The next generation of NASCAR standouts has quite an opportunity over these next couple months. With Jeff Gordon and Tony Stewart fading from prominence and Dale Earnhardt Jr. sidelined with concussion problems, a handful of younger drivers have emerged in impressive fashion of late.The 24-year-old Larson ended up winning at Michigan, with the 20-year-old Elliott coming in second. Ryan Blaney was fourth, equaling the highest finish of the 22-year-olds career.When we took that last restart I saw three guys up there that hadnt won before, six-time series champion Jimmie Johnson said. In my mind I thought, `Man, I hope one of these guys gets it.Larson wrapped up a spot in the Chase with his victory at Michigan, and Elliott seems likely to get in, too. Chris Buescher has a berth waiting for him if the 23-year-old can remain in the top 30 in points. His victory at Pocono was the first of his career.Last years Chase did not include a single driver under 25.Gordon retired at the end of last season, although hes been back behind the wheel recently to replace the injured Earnhardt. Elliott has replaced Gordon in the No. 24 car and has 12 top-10 finishes this year, an encouraging sign amid a tough year for Hendrick Motorsports.Gordons retirement as a full-time driver and Earnhardts concussion problems have driven home the fact that NASCAR wont be able to rely on its biggest names forever. Stewart plans to retire after this season, and even Johnson is all the way down in ninth place in the standings.The first race at Michigan back in June had the youngest top three in Sprint Cup history, with Joey Logano (26) finishingg ahead of Elliott and Larson.dddddddddddd Last weekend, it was Larson and Elliott going 1-2. Both were driving Chevrolets.Chevy has had a fortunate lineup of drivers and team owners, some of the very best in the industry, said Jim Campbell, vice president of performance vehicles and motorsports for Chevrolet. As some of them retire, and we are working with our team owners to bring guys in like Chase Elliott and Kyle Larson, it really bodes well for the future. Were proud of those guys. Theyre incredibly talented and surrounded by great teams.Larsons victory snapped a 99-race losing skid for Chip Ganassi Racing, and the owner expressed confidence that his young driver wouldnt be making a jump to another team any time soon.His contract came up one time. I said, `What do you think about these other teams that are talking to you? Ill never forget his answer. He said, `They all had a shot at me the first time around and they passed, Ganassi said. To say hes the foundation of the team, sure. Any time you have a young guy come along that can win, sure, you want to rally around that.Larson was the first graduate of the NASCAR Drive for Diversity and NASCAR Next programs to win a Sprint Cup race. It happened in his 99th start.I wouldnt have been surprised if he won in his first two or three starts, and wouldnt be surprised if it took him 10 years. Theres no guarantees at this level, said Brad Keselowski, who finished third Sunday. Theres too many pieces. Being a great driver alone is not enough to guarantee success. Everything has to come together. ... I look forward to racing him and Chase and Ryan Blaney and all those guys for years to come.---Follow Noah Trister at www.Twitter.com/noahtrister ' ' '
