Ryan McMahon of the Colorado Rockies might want to think about freshening up his equipment bag. In fact, after this bizarre play that eventually led to the decisive runs in a Rockies loss, he's admitted it's time.

The ball literally went straight through his glove, leaving a gaping hole in the webbing. One Rockies beat writer called it "cartoonish".

"That was my old baby glove," McMahon said. "I've been using it since High-A. She's going into retirement now." He was in High-A in 2015, which means that glove had over 400 games of professional ball on it.

McMahon was charged with an error, as that play led to a 2-run inning for the San Francisco Giants, who went on to win the game 9-8 in 11 innings.

"So that DID happen, right? I couldn't tell what happened," McMahon continued. "When I looked down I had a huge tear in my glove. It's tough man... It would have been an easy inning. It's a tough pill to swallow, but it's out of my control."

Except to perhaps use a glove in a major league game that isn't seven years old.
