Family members of Kavan Markwood, the Pittsburgh Pirates fan who fell 21 feet from his seat in right field onto the warning track at PNC Park last week, and Allegheny General Hospital Chief Medical Officer Dr.

In the first game at PNC Park after the accident, Pirates owner Bob Nutting acknowledged the fall in a statement read before the national anthem. He called it "one of the most difficult moments many of us have ever experienced" and thanked the medical staff and first responders who assisted Markwood.

The fan who fell onto the field at PNC Park last week, identified as Kavan Markwood, took his first steps since the incident on Monday, according to a post on a fundraiser set up by the mother Markwood’s girlfriend.
