There are certain things you should not do in life, and on that list of things is catching a Major League Baseball home run bare-handed. I have to admit that if I were going to a game I would not bring a glove and would consider trying to catch a ball bare-handed.

After seeing this picture of a fan’s hand, who tried to catch a Giancarlo Stanton home run barehanded, I am going to rethink that.

But it looks like Stanton is going to make it memorable for the fan. Not only will he get Stanton’s glove, so he never has to go to a game without one again, he gets the memory of Stanton making an awkward pun.

Because he caught the ball bare-handed right?

But seriously, who goes to a home run derby without a glove?

[UPDATE:] Turns out he was lying.
