Wearing a glove to a baseball game is kinda overambitious, but if you’re at the Home Run Derby, where the express goal is to hit balls into the crowd, you ought to come prepared. Forget your mitt when, say, Giancarlo Stanton blasts one over the wall, and you might end up like this:
This is why you don’t catch a Giancarlo Stanton homer barehanded
It will injure you.

Sorry you had to "Bear" this pain @JJacobson13 ! But look on the bright side, now u get my Glove & a Derby ball! pic.twitter.com/0YmTCkZsUK
— Giancarlo Stanton (@Giancarlo818) July 16, 2014 That is a pun, right? Bear like barehanded? Or does he have big hands like a bear or something? I’m so thrown off by the pun that I don’t even care about that badly bruised hand anymore.
