A San Francisco Giants fan learned the hard way not to heckle baseball players about their bodies and strength.

During the eighth inning of the New York Mets' 13-3 win over the Giants, cameras caught a Giants fan heckling Mets second baseman Jeff McNeil about his legs.

"Hey McNeil, work out those legs!" the fan could be heard yelling. "You've got no power, no power McNeil!"

Two pitches later, McNeil blasted a 408-foot, two-run home run over the right field wall.

McNeil is batting .311 on the season, but Monday's home run was only his second of the season, thus proving it's often unwise to taunt players.

The win moved the Mets to 29-15, first in the NL East.
