San Diego Padres fan catches foul ball before it hits woman (Video)

Found August 24, 2012 on Outside the Boxscore:
TEAMS: San Diego Padres

As we have previously noted before, if you are attending a professional baseball game and aren't paying attention, there is a possibility that a foul ball might find you.

Check out this highlight from Wednesday's Padres/Pirates game where an older woman nearly gets hit with a foul ball only to be saved by a gentleman sitting two seats near her:

It was a rough night for the Padres minor league affiliates as every team that played recorded a loss. Nathan Freiman drove in runs number 100 and 101, yet the Missions still lost their 8th game in a row. Despite multi-hit games from Justin Miller and Tommy Medica, the Storm lost to the Mavericks 8-3.

D-backs lose the touch against Padres' Stults

Via Fox Sports Arizona  |  August 25, 2012
PHOENIX When the Diamondbacks beat Eric Stults in San Diego on June 3, Gerardo Parra let an elderly woman sitting in the front row of Petco Park touch his bat to bring him luck. He homered for the final two runs in a 6-0 victory. Nothing approached that level of good fortune Friday. Needing to mount a good run to get back into the NL West race, the D-backs managed only three singles...

The way the Padres have been playing of late an off day seems like a tiny little curse. I want to see these guys play every day! But it is a good thing to get the off day now and then to get rested up and then get back to what they are doing best right now. Tonight is the first game of a series in Arizona. We all know about the past history there for the Padres, but this year has...

The Padres are the best team in baseball. Seriously go look it up, it's a proven fact. Alright, maybe that's not entirely true, but they sure are taking the role of spoiler to heart. The Pirates will most likely finish about .500 for the first time in forever, but to add something more sweet to that they are trying for a playoff push. After the Padres swept them this past...

Arizona's Ian Kennedy and San Diego's Clayton Richard have both struggled with inconsistency this season. However, that has not been the case for each when facing the other's ballclub. Kennedy and Richard each look to continue their respective success against their opponent when the visiting Padres try to match a season high with a sixth consecutive victory Saturday...

One of my biggest fears coming into this Arizona series was whether or not the pitching would be able to do its job. Well, if Eric Stults' performance is any indication then the pitching should be just fine. He did outstanding last night in more ways than one. I also figured that the offense would have no trouble scoring runs, but I didn't expect that the number 9 hole would...

St. Louis native Tom Layne picks up first big league save

St. Louis native Tom Layne may not be wearing a St. Louis Cardinals jersey, but he is doing everything he can to help the Cardinals out this month while wearing a San Diego Padres uniform. On Wednesday, Layne picked up his first Major League save in a 4-2 Padres victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates, who the Cardinals now lead by a half game in the National League Central Division...

Swept out of San Diego

Via Raise the Jolly Roger!  |  August 23, 2012
The Pirates were swept out of Petco Park with a listless effort on Wednesday that dropped them out of a playoff spot. The game was so ugly, I don’t think anyone was all that upset when ROOT Sports lost its video feed for a whole inning and Tim Neverett had to call the action radio-style. James McDonald did not build on his strong outing in St. Louis. In fact, he wasted no time...
