During a Major League Baseball game between the Chicago Cubs and the Pittsburgh Pirates at PNC Park, a fan fell from the stands onto the warning track in right field, causing a temporary halt to the game. The incident occurred on April 30, 2025, shortly after Pirates player Andrew McCutchen hit an RBI double, and drew immediate attention from players, spectators, and emergency personnel. The fan received prompt medical attention from Pittsburgh EMS and team trainers before being transported off the field, and the game resumed with a renewed focus on the importance of safety measures at sporting events.
