Nacho Average Catch

We may think we have seen it all when it comes to foul territory catches. From Josh Donaldson's tarp catches in Oakland, Derek Jeter's bloody head first dive into the stands, to a casual beer spill every once in a while. But, last night in the Padres 4-1 win over the Giants, Padres third baseman, Yangervis Solarte made an outstanding play that we haven't seen before. Everything seemed pretty normal as he dove into the stands in foul territory to catch a pop-up off the bat of Angel Pagan. As he got out the ball to show the umpire that he had in fact made the catch, he discovered the ball and his glove were covered in a fan's nacho cheese. That's something you just don't see everyday. A literal cheeseball.  

The fan may have lost his nachos, which is a travesty, but the play Solarte made was nacho average catch. Sorry, that was cheesy.
