This fan in Cincinnati somehow pulled off the rare and mythic foam-finger catch

We've long posed this question: "Should an adult fan bring a glove to a baseball game?" Regardless of your opinion on this matter, we've clearly overlooked the perfect compromise for both factions.
Thankfully, this fan at Sunday's Dodgers-Reds game -- which the Dodgers won, 4-0 -- has opened our eyes to the most creative solution to the debate:

He caught it in a foam finger! Why didn't we think of that? It both provides the cushioning necessary to complete a difficult catch and displays the hyperbolic physical comedy required to make such a catch feel even more special.
In fact, why should we stop this innovation with just fans?

That's the stuff. Who could possibly be opposed to this quantum leap forward in defensive strategy? Well, other than Rangers outfielder Delino DeShields .
