PITTSBURGH -- The 20-year-old man who fell from the top of a 21-foot-high wall onto the warning track at PNC Park during a Pittsburgh Pirates game last week took his first steps Monday, but he still has "a long way to go" in his recovery. Kavan Markwood slipped off a railing and onto the field during the seventh inning of Pittsburgh's 4-3 win over the Chicago Cubs on Wednesday. This will also require plenty of rest and following instructions from the great doctors, nurses and staff at the hospital." As of Monday night, the GoFundMe had raised nearly $41,000, more than 90% toward its initial goal of $45,000. Pittsburgh Public Safety, which includes Pittsburgh Police and EMS, has labeled the incident an accident.
