A terrible thing happened to San Diego Padres catcher Nick Hundley on Thursday.

That search even led to Hundley apparently pressing his face extremely close to home plate at one point.No word on whether or not Hundley ever found it.Via Twitter (@FollowThePadres)

Daily Friar 2.23.13
Yesterday was the first spring training game of the year, and the Padres opened up in style beating the Mariners 9-3. The story of the day was how Jedd Gyorko sent a ball over the left field fence for a grand slam in his first at bat. No doubt that eyes will be on him all spring as he looks to crack the roster and become the starting second baseman. The Padres and Mariners are at...
