Most baseballs hit into the stands become coveted souvenirs.
Then there are the ones that become cause for concern.
In the third inning of Friday night’s game against the Dodgers, Padres first baseman Wil Myers lined a Scott Kazmir pitch foul into the field-level seats.
The ball hit in the second row of section 113, richocheted back nearly 20 rows and then forward another dozen rows into section 115 before coming to rest.
It was where the ball first hit that drew everyone’s attention. A boy sitting with his parents was struck in the head.
