Boston Red Sox right-hander Daniel Bard turned to the media for assistance in the search for Matt Hill, a friend since childhood who has been missing from the Washington, D.C. area since late Tuesday morning.
A Facebook page has been created for Hill — who is white, stands 6-feet tall, weighs about 165 pounds, has blue eyes and dirty blond hair. He's in his mid 20s. Hill was last seen in the Chinatown area driving a 1996 black Honda CX with a D.C. license plate tagged DT-2747.
Here's a PDF file with more information, along with numbers to call if you've seen him.
Via MLB.com, Bard said he talked to his friend as recently as Monday:
"I exchanged some texts with him on Monday during the day, so roughly 24 hours before he went missing," said Bard. "He was a big Indians fan, is a big Indians fan, so he was giving me a hard time about going into Cleveland."
Bard first learned his friend was missing on Thursday morning. It has been a tough couple of days for the righty.
"Matt and I grew up together," Bard said. "I've known him since I was about 10 or 11 years old. He was a groomsman in my wedding, so he's a pretty good friend."
Hill works for the campus outreach program at George Washington University, serving as a campus director. He is not the type of individual who would just disappear for no reason, according to Bard.
"Extremely out of character," Bard said.
A Major League Baseball blog might seem out of place for a post about a missing person but the friendship Hill shares with Bard makes for an exception in this case. Hopefully, Hill will be found quickly and safely.
