Three days after he tumbled 20 feet from the stands onto the field during a Pittsburgh Pirates game, baseball fan Kavan Markwood is awake. His family shared a positive update on his health in a lengthy statement Saturday printed by several media outlets, including WLS-TV in Chicago.

Pirates manager Derek Shelton, outfielder Andrew McCutchen among those expressing concern for fan who fell over 21-foot wall and onto field Wednesday.

When a fan flipped over the railing and fell off the 21-foot-high Clemente Wall in right field at Pittsburgh's PNC Park on Wednesday night, it elicited memories of spectators who have died from similar falls at other major league stadiums.
