    A San Francisco Giants fan got carried away during a game against the Colorado Rockies.

    During a Saturday afternoon game, as the Giants led 1-0 during the top of the sixth inning, a foul ball was smacked into the crowd by Rockies middle infielder Brendan Rodgers off a 1-1 fastball against pitcher Blake Snell.

    The fouled ball was corralled by a fan, who held the ball up for all to see.
