Giancarlo Stanton sent a ball into orbit and a Marlins fan (with a glove) somehow caught it

Giancarlo Stanton mashes homers. Prior to Miami's 4-3 win over the Nats at Marlins Park on Monday night, however, Stanton hadn't hit one since Aug. 13.

That all changed, in a big way, when Stanton connected on a full-count offering from A.J. Cole and sent the ball into orbit:

As you might suspect, the Statcast™ info for this Stanton blast is definitely worth a WOW:

Per @statcast the Stanton HR projected 448 feet, 115 mph exit velo 27 degree launch angle. #AndStill #Marlins — Joe Frisaro (@JoeFrisaro) September 19, 2016

Given that context, how did that fan catch this ball? Well, for one, it probably wouldn't have been possible were it not for his glove. But even then, you would think being behind a gigantic Budweiser sign would make it a tall task.

Somehow, he did it -- and explained to the FOX Sports Florida crew the method behind his immaculate grab (as seen atop this post). Apparently, as Joe from Fort Lauderdale detailed, he's been trying for five years to catch a Stanton homer and finally made good on his effort with Monday's feat.

Well done, Joe, and let this be another example of the type of thing that probably only happens with the assistance of a glove -- as it's just a bit too difficult to imagine this going down the way it did with a barehanded grab.
