A Giants fan thought an enormous glove would help him catch a foul ball, but ... nope

Ah, the giant baseball glove. Opting to not only bring a mitt to the ballpark (which would incense "no gloves for adults!" purists by its very nature), fans sometimes bring the really, really big ones to the game instead. Sometimes they work
"Surely," they must think to themselves while sitting in the stands with this cartoonishly large piece of leather on their hand, "I'll catch any foul ball that comes my way. There's no way I could flub an otherwise routine foul ball with this beast at the ready." 
That's probably how a San Francisco fan at Coors Field for Monday night's Giants-Rockies game felt, but ... nope:

Hey, at least he and his friend could laugh about it afterward. Laughter is good.
