Fallon didn't have anything worthy of being signed, so he simply asked if he could toss his phone to Clevinger and get a photo taken on it.

"[Clevinger] looked confused at first, but then agreed," Fallon told MLB.com. "He took my phone to the bullpen out of my sight for a few seconds, then returned it and tossed it back up."
Despite the phone almost falling short, he got his phone back complete with a selfie of Clevinger and Trevor Bauer.
"He and Bauer were laughing about it, then I thanked him and they went on with their normal pregame routine."
That's a framer for sure.
