There are several ways to get a foul ball. You can catch one in the upper deck. Reaching over the barrier from the front row sometimes works, too. Or, you can wear a ridiculously large glove and ask the kind ballboy for a souvenir. This Dodgers fan opted for the last of the three.
In the fifth inning of Wednesday's 1-0 loss to the Rockies, Austin Barnes lined a ball foul down the first baseline. The ballboy fielded it nicely, looked for a worthy fan, and said 'Aw, what the heck. I'll give it to this guy with the massive glove' ... probably.

Inconvenient, yes. But also effective. The fan walked back to his seats to an applause from his fellow fans, and a handshake from a guy in the row in front of him.
