(CNN) -- Almost a year after a similar incident, tragedy struck again at a Texas Rangers game Thursday night when a fan fell over a railing while trying to catch a ball.
The fan, who was not identified, flipped over the railing of the outfield seats. He fell about 20 feet -- crashing head-first into an area near a scoreboard as his horrified son watched.
The man was rushed to a hospital where he died, the Arlington Fire Department said.
Major League Baseball officials said the incident occurred in the second inning of the game at Rangers Ballpark after star outfielder Josh Hamilton threw a ball in the stands for fans.
Another fan who was sitting near the victim saw him leaning over the rail. The second man tried to grab on to victim's shirt, but could not hold on.
