something tells me that just might not be his glove lol.
considering he's wearing a police uniform and pistol belt.
Then he must not intend on throwing anything he catches unless he's at least partially ambidextrous.
EDIT: For some reason I'm ignoring this was likely just a staged photograph and he isn't throwing or catching anything. Disregard me :)
he's a cop posing for a photo op at a ballgame.
what do you think he's going to throw?
Initially my brain was bucketing the photo with recent pictures posted of Fidel playing basketball so I was operating under the assumption there were friendly games being played between the pictured parties. Obviously it's far more likely it was just a simple staged photograph where the glove was traded with the gun and neither were actually in use.
