Keith Carmickle and his friends had already caught three balls during Monday night's Home Run Derby and wanted more.
He nearly got a lot more: a headfirst fall to a pool deck about 20 feet below.
Chasing a home run hit by Prince Fielder on Monday night, Carmickle was saved from a long fall when his brother and a friend grabbed him around the legs and arms, then pulled him back as he dangled above the deck area behind the pool in right field at Chase Field.
"I thought: I've lived a good life," Carmickle said about dangling.
