One fan had a little too much fun during Game 1 of the Giants' doubleheader against the Colorado Rockies on Saturday at Oracle Park.
In the top of the sixth inning, a fan sitting along the first-base line was ejected from the game for taking a foul ball hit by Rockies second baseman Brendan Rodgers and tossing it back onto the field. The ball nearly hit second base umpire Laz Diaz.

Diaz immediately called for the fan's removal, and Oracle Park employees escorted the smiling fan out of the stadium as a sea of boos -- and some high-fives -- cascaded down around him.
While tossing an opponent's home run ball back onto the grass is a common occurrence at MLB games, this fan seemed to hold a deeper grudge against Colorado.
Giants pitcher Blake Snell was unfazed by the commotion, going on to finish the inning by striking out the side and recording his career-high 15th strikeout.
