MLB fans stunned as a supporter in stand catches Mitch Garver's home run bare-handed: "Sign him"

ALCS Game 6 between the Houston Astros and the Texas Rangers is underway at Minute Maid Park. However, amid this intense clash, a supporter caught Mitch Garver's home run bare-handed, to which fans reacted on social media.

After Yordan Alvarez drove in the game's first run, the Rangers designated hitter Mitch Garver evaporated Houston's lead with a home run to right field. A fan in an LSU Tigers jersey caught the ball bare-handed in the stands, leaving social media shocked.

As reactions started to pile up, one fan asked the organization to sign the supporter.

"Sign him."

Another fan reacted:

"LSU fans just built different."

Here are some other fan reactions:

The Texas Rangers, who are trailing 3-2, will have a tough challenge in Game 6 as the Astros will aim to eliminate them in front of their home crowd. For the Astros, southpaw, Framber Valdez will be in action, whereas on the other hand, Rangers' ace Nathan Eovaldi will start the proceedings for Texas.

Interestingly, in ALCS Game 2 where it was the same matchup, Eovaldi was sensational and took a victory over Valdez.
