VIDEO: Dodgers Fan Botches Home Run Catch in Worst Possible Fashion
By Michael Luciano
Shagging fly balls might look easy from the stands, but one unlucky Los Angeles Dodgers fan found out that hauling in homers is much more difficult than it looks on TV. The fan in question had a Chris Taylor home run in his glove, ready to become a souvenir, but he managed to drop the ball and lose it into the underbelly of Dodger Stadium.
The ball literally hit his glove ?

This guy has already committed two cardinal sins of fandom as a grown man that are simply unacceptable. First off, he has a jersey with his name or nickname on the back. Second, he brought his glove to the game. After a certain age, those become extremely questionable choices.
This, as the old saying goes, is strike three. This guy isn't having the best day at Dodger Stadium.
A grown man bringing a ball glove to the game is embarrassing enough. But this is.. wow

He had a ready-made souvenir that he could put up on his bookshelf for years to come. Instead, he let the ball bounce off the heel of his glove and earned himself a day of mockery online.
If you bring your glove to the game, you better be able to use it.
