Boy with glove catches foul ball, guy using shirt does not

A baseball glove was made to catch a baseball. That's a fairly well-known fact.

And if you bring one to a baseball game, you have a decent shot at catching a foul ball that's hit near you -- as this youngster did at Tropicana Field on Monday night.

A shirt? A shirt is usually for wearing on one's chest. It can also be used as a napkin, tissue or small parachute depending on the situation. But as the fan in front of this young boy found out, you CANNOT catch foul balls with it.

Somebody get this man a mitt.
