San Diego Padres fan gets hit by foul ball while using his cell phone to check Facebook

If you ever attend a Major League Baseball game, you have to stay alert at all times since foul balls can travel fast and you might unsuspectingly be the target of one.

During last night’s Padres/Reds affair, a fan by the name of Travis Decker was attempting to post a status update on Facebook using his cell phone when San Diego’s Will Venable was at the plate in the bottom of the second inning.

While he was paying attention to check in on the social networking site, Decker didn’t see Venable foul off a pitch that would travel to his section in the stands and plunk him right on the left shoulder:

Decker’s friend also gets high marks for not attempting to make a play on the ball.
