Blue Jays fan uses his giant glove to pull foul ball into its gravitational orbit

The debate among baseball fans on whether it is advisable to bring a glove to a baseball game is as old as time, or at least as old as people have been attending baseball games. Every time we think we have an answer (how about a pair of gloves?), the two sides rage on.
But push past those questions and expand your mind. Because it's not a matter of if you should bring a glove -- or even how many -- but how big a glove:

Look at how this fan swallowed up Ryan Goins' foul ball in the eighth inning of the 11-8 Red Sox victory over the Blue Jays on Sunday afternoon -- all the hands around him were blotted out by the sheer scale of his glove. He simply had to outstretch his arm and the ball had no choice but to glide into its gravitational orbit. 
Let's just hope he doesn't use it for more nefarious purposes:
