Really do appreciate you giving back to kids so they can play. Growing up my family was poor so I couldn't even afford cleats. What ur doing for these kids who were like me is amazing. Keep it up. And keep giving kids balls at games love seeing there smile when they get a ball.
+Zack Hample You've given me so many awesome tips that helped me catch homeruns and foul balls at Hartford Yard Goats (MiLB) games. I have season tickets. THANKS ZACK!!! -Owen
Just bought your book from local store and just realized it was you man what I would do if I had this type of baseball collection to go along with my baseball card collection keep it rolling man 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Probably the last home run that the Mets (Carlos Beltran) ever hit at Shea Stadium. No Royals home runs, but I've caught some that were hit by former Royals. See here: zackhample.com/baseball_collection/homers.htm
hey, zack! I have a question for you. when you caught trouts 1st home run why did you give it back right away but why did you keep a-rods? I don't mean this in a bad way I just am curious.
Hi zack it's john Gary on my mom's account and I met u with my friend at a mets game and then I saw you at a Yankees gane congratulations on a - rod 3000 hit and u snagging 8000 balls Zack Hample
Hey Zach idk if u remember me but I met u the day before u got the 3000 ball during BP at Yankee stadium I'm Gregory Like I said idk if u remember but but if u did that's pretty cool congrats on getting the ball
You're the guy who got the ball??!?!?!! I was watching the game because im a HUGE Yankee fan and when i saw you catch the ball I knew right away that you wouldn't give it back right away.
+Zack Hample that's brutal I guess people get real possessive when is comes to the World Series tickets. Surprised you didn't get the David wright home run lol
You should keep making videos your videos are really good and I have a question. Has your camera man ever caught a baseball during batting practice or in a game
im a big fan and wanted to know if you possibly would be in town for the Atlanta vs st.Louis game on oct 2nd? prob not but I really want to meet you for me and my twin brothers birthday!!
thanks and ive tried making your glove trick and I want to bring mine that I made to turner field if that was fine with you? (since it was your idea u prob don't want people using your idea) and do u have a instgram?
Eric Harmon Yeah, except for the fact that MLB authenticated the ball when I first got it and then re-authenticated it right before I gave it to A-Rod at the press conference.
You snagged it for a reason Zack. Now your charity will receive a lot of money and much needed help. Just think if some other joe schmo caught it and didn't give it up, or sold it for his own benefit It was fate.
Really do appreciate you giving back to kids so they can play. Growing up my family was poor so I couldn't even afford cleats. What ur doing for these kids who were like me is amazing. Keep it up. And keep giving kids balls at games love seeing there smile when they get a ball.
+Cameron Clark Thanks so much. It's nice to hear from folks like you who really understand and appreciate what I do.
+Zack Hample keep it up man. Need more people like you who think of others rather than just yourself.
Small lone of a million baseballs
Nick Kiczek LMAO

Im totally Not into Baseball but your Videos are very entertaining!
+Marc Femfert Thanks so much! That's one of the best compliments I've gotten.
+Zack Hample You've given me so many awesome tips that helped me catch homeruns and foul balls at Hartford Yard Goats (MiLB) games. I have season tickets. THANKS ZACK!!!
-Owen
You're welcome! Glad to hear it.
+Zack Hample u shouldn't have given a - rod the ball , but glad some money went to charity
Zack Hample how can I get a toss up
That is the nicest thing. I'm glad you didn't ask them for money, but instead to donate to a charity that your passionate about.
You need a home run derby gold ball
Junks
This dude is the Tai Lopez of baseball
😂😂😂 true😂
2 years later and I'm still crying cause you gave it back
What a generous thing to do for them kids man. Need more people like you in this world. Keep up the good work.
Thanks so much! That's very nice of you to say.
You should've given A-Rod his ball immediately, but it's still good he got it back, and a bunch of money was donated to a good cause.
You are the nicest man because you are donating so much stuff to those children that can't play that is really awesome keep it up
Thanks!
Just bought your book from local store and just realized it was you man what I would do if I had this type of baseball collection to go along with my baseball card collection keep it rolling man 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
sportstradingcards77 Thanks so much! Hope you enjoy the book.
I currently am halfway through its a very good book for someone as in love with baseball as I am 😀😀
Well done man even if it was a year ago only just seeing the kindness of people in life!
Thanks!
Film yourself snagging more baseballs! Also #savedodgerfilms
Evan Ritchey fuck dodger films I hate that guy, he stole a ball from me.
Evan Ritchey I
@@iancorkhill5699 Salty much?
pitchers paradise. great seams everywhere
Zack Hample I'm a big fan of yours man. Congrats on catching the A Rod ball. Hope to meet you soon!
Alex Walworth Thanks!
Zach if you caught ichiros 3,000 th career hit would you give it back ?
Do you have any plans for 2016? Are you gonna go after Alex's potential 700th home run or Ichiros 3000th hit?
What is your most prized ball besides the a rod hit and have you gotten any royals players ball because I love the royals I live in kc thanks
Probably the last home run that the Mets (Carlos Beltran) ever hit at Shea Stadium. No Royals home runs, but I've caught some that were hit by former Royals. See here: zackhample.com/baseball_collection/homers.htm
Do you have any Home Run Derby Gold Balls?
No. Not yet . . .
I wonder how it would feel to accidentally throw the ball and it land in the bucket and you don't know where it went
😂
It Was marked
+New England Fb yeah but it'd still take a long time to search through 600 balls to find that one.
+New England Fb I'm from New England lol
It has an authenticity sticker on it and its marked R1
hey, zack!
I have a question for you.
when you caught trouts 1st home run why did you give it back right away but why did you keep a-rods?
I don't mean this in a bad way I just am curious.
Because a 3000 hit ball is very rare and it's more valuable than a 1st home run ball
MV18 he already gave it back to A Rod
I was at that game with my dad & I was actually right next to you when my dad & I were getting ready to leave Yankee Stadium in the 8th inning.
Where were u and how old were u when u caught u're very first home run ball
On the fly? I was 23. Yankee Stadium. Mike Bordick hit it.
Zack I'm a fan and I think your videos are awesome I hope you get to 10,000 baseballs soon
Thanks! (One year later.) Hopefully it'll happen next summer.
Hey zack I was at safeco field and coght a 40th anavercery ball and Jean segura sighned it how cool is that
Kimberly Toftness just as cool as your grammar
Wow now we can play ball forever
Hi zack it's john Gary on my mom's account and I met u with my friend at a mets game and then I saw you at a Yankees gane congratulations on a - rod 3000 hit and u snagging 8000 balls Zack Hample
Stacie GRAY Thanks!
Hey Zach idk if u remember me but I met u the day before u got the 3000 ball during BP at Yankee stadium I'm Gregory
Like I said idk if u remember but but if u did that's pretty cool congrats on getting the ball
Greg Csak Thanks very much! I think I remember you, but I've met soooo many people in the last month that my brain is kinda scrambled.
Its Zack! Not Zach!!! Get it right
What is the best stadium for ballhawking?
Different places are good for different things. From a sheer numbers standpoint, Turner Field, probably.
I just watched you on HBO Real Sports. You deserve the recognition, very interesting story
Are you going to keep uploading to this channel?
Can you tell me where you got that umpire hat please? Is that the official on field hat? Looking to get it for my dad for fathers day
Found it online somewhere. I forget which site . . . sorry.
They sell it on lids website or go to hatland.com
You're the guy who got the ball??!?!?!! I was watching the game because im a HUGE Yankee fan and when i saw you catch the ball I knew right away that you wouldn't give it back right away.
Do you have a world baseball classic ball
When will you be at o.co?
do you go to the homerun derby
I've been to five of them.
Do you have the mike trout ball set aside?
Do the balls in the drawers have more of a significance than the ones in the Rubbermaid bins?
They're all NL, AL, and commemorative balls.
What games do you plan on going to in the 201 season? Any yankees or mets games?
Are you going to try to get a Toronto Blue Jays 40th anniversary baseball?
Already got a few. :)
Have you ever been to AT&T Park
Yes, several times, and I actually just posted a video from there.
Ever been to Miller park? What was your experience like?
I've been there a bunch of times. My experience was like this: th-cam.com/video/Ty-sg_q2ys8/w-d-xo.html
After I watched a few of your videos, I realized that I have definitely seen you there before! Years ago against the Pirates. Were you at that game?
Do you go to minor leauge games
Nope.
I love watching your videos keep it up
Thanks very much.
+Zack Hample big fan 🤘🏼
Hey man. So I was just wondering if there was anyway I could have a couple commeoritive baseballs. I'm a collector. If not. It's ok
You can have them if you catch them, at games. :)
That's amazing...I'm lucky if I get one maybe two baseballs a game or during batting practice
Do you have an extra commemorative ball from the Mariners Japan game?
Or Safeco field commemorative?
+1kalambre I got a few of the Japan balls, but if you're asking because you want to buy one . . . sorry. I don't sell my baseballs.
+Zack Hample You probably should. You have too many.
+White Nigma Too many baseballs? BWAHAHAHA!!! No such thing.
Zack Hample Lol
We're do you keep them .What room?
Zack when are you going to tigers stadium
I was just there a few weeks ago and did a video: th-cam.com/video/EU_Y7mYF1cw/w-d-xo.html
Met you last night at city field.. any luck getting those tickets?
+George Weiss Hey, what's up? No luck with the tickets. (Damn!)
+Zack Hample that's brutal I guess people get real possessive when is comes to the World Series tickets. Surprised you didn't get the David wright home run lol
One of my favorite Zack Hample videos.
You should keep making videos your videos are really good and I have a question. Has your camera man ever caught a baseball during batting practice or in a game
Thanks! I plan to make more videos, and yeah, he has snagged a few during BP.
How much money are they donating?
They donated $150,000.
Do you ever play with any of those baseballs
No, but I look at them often and sometimes take them out of the drawers and barrels. I'm going to build a huge pyramid of balls in a couple of weeks.
im a big fan and wanted to know if you possibly would be in town for the Atlanta vs st.Louis game on oct 2nd? prob not but I really want to meet you for me and my twin brothers birthday!!
landon 8 Thanks for asking, but it's highly unlikely that I'll be at that game. Hope we can meet someday.
thanks and ive tried making your glove trick and I want to bring mine that I made to turner field if that was fine with you? (since it was your idea u prob don't want people using your idea) and do u have a instgram?
You are awesome. I can't believe how many balls you have collected.
Thanks very much!
Stupid question. Did you add the #1, R, and the sticker?
No they marked all the baseballs that game so they know when they get the ball back its the real one
Where do you keep the home runs balls and the foul balls (gamers)?
When did you catch your first baseball
Juan in San Diego for got DA player game all I know that it was in San Diego in 1992 I think cuz he says it in one of his vid
Hey zack what's the most amount of baseballs you've gotten in one game, love your videos by the way, hope I get to see you during a Yankee game!
+Zack Hample thanks zack you've probably answered that question thousands of times. Appreciate it! Cant wait to read
what are your top 10 most prized baseballs
Is this THE Ray Burton from Australia?
Just a question. I'm assuming you have both old and new Yankee Stadium commemorative balls. I'm just curious for some reason. Random question... :P
Calc Club You are correct. Here are all my commemorative baseballs.
zackhample.com/baseball_collection/photos/commemorative.htm
Oh sweet! Thank you!
When was the last time and the place where you did not catch a ball
September 2, 1993 at the old Yankee Stadium.
+Zack Hample thanks and keep the streak
Do you ever sell or trade with people
No.
How does it feel to catch A-Rods 300th hit?
+Zach hample what's the first game you have ever been to?
Lol I would love one of those bins for BP 💀
same brother!
Ikr. But don't guilt trip him. Start your own collection
U
Hey Zack, who’s your favorite MLB team. I’m a huge Mets fan. Also, your awesome. Keep doing what your doing
Do u have a baseball from Eric hosmer
I got a BP homer that he hit earlier this season at Yankee Stadium.
Can I come over and take batting practice please
You don't hit these baseballs lol
Please can you do a target field BP video
Sorry for the SLOW reply, but here it is, in case you missed it: th-cam.com/video/ZoTpyBNDpDw/w-d-xo.html
Any way I could buy a ball from you??
Nope, sorry, I don't sell balls.
+Zack Hample you steal seats from people who serve the USA though
How many baseballs do you have
I've snagged 9,031 but I own thousands less because I've given so many away at games.
Your the best at catching I used your tips and got 6 balls on the fly
Wow, nice!
Hey I saw you at the A's game
Congrats and you should upload more videos
Austin Rodriguez Thanks! I'm hoping to do more videos soon at a few stadiums in the midwest.
Atleast 10,000 dollars worth of base balls if not more
Much more than that. :)
Yeah
wait what Zach Hample responded sweet bro!
Those type of baseballs are at least 5 dollars a piece and that's by itself. No signature or anything.
actually probably 8
You deserve more subscribers
Thanks. I'm gaining about 100 or 200 per day, so I'm getting there.
+Zack Hample who is your favorite baseball team
I don't have one. I just love the sport in general, and I mostly root for individual players.
Why didn't you also get season tickets or something on top of that
ive seen a video that he pays over 10k easy just going to snag balls from them places
For all AROD knows you swapped his 3000 hit ball for one of your other ones. :)
Eric Harmon Yeah, except for the fact that MLB authenticated the ball when I first got it and then re-authenticated it right before I gave it to A-Rod at the press conference.
One time I got a comemertive astros ball
Nice!
Thanks
Have you ever caught a HR derby Gold colored ball?
No. :(
you did
This is so inspiring, I wish I had the time and money to do this.
If u have a Chicago Cubs baseball ⚾️ can I have one every game I've gone to I had never had one so I really want one so bad
Q Productions thanks
Q Productions is this a joke because I thought you were zack
Any more
how many real balls
They're all real.
This is AWESOME! Someday I wish to do this too!!!
Thanks!
I went to all the opening series games in Australia + I built the locker room with my baseball club
Have you ever been to a World Series game
Why didn't u just switch the a rod ball with a batting practice ball or something
cuz that would be very illegal, i believe the yankee's donated 150,000 to his charity, you know how fucked he would be if they found out?
The ball was specially marked and authenticated, so it would've been impossible to swap. Also, I'm not a dick, so I wouldn't do that.
Do a video with dodger films!
dogerfilms is not doing videos anymore
+Stephen Hut He just uploaded 3 hours ago
Tennessee Fan I meant he can't do a videos at dodger stadium
+Stephen Hut Oh...why not??
not allowed too
Do u number them
I wouldn't say a couple more I would say thousands of them I love your videos plz read this comment
Thanks for watching, and good luck catching a ball.
Thanks bro
dude that is awesome for you to do to give back the money dude your awesome keep it up man
Thanks. :)
lol, I would of just given a random ball back to A-Rod
In like 70 years someones gonna open up an abandoned storage locker and find a billion baseballs and wonder wtf was going on haha.
You snagged it for a reason Zack. Now your charity will receive a lot of money and much needed help. Just think if some other joe schmo caught it and didn't give it up, or sold it for his own benefit It was fate.
unhombrelobo Thanks. That's very nice of you to say.
you should've told the Yankees they could have the ball if you could try out for cf, Lf, or rf
do you feel like everything you worked for was for that moment?
+Kaptin Clouds Yeah, kinda. It's really strange how it all worked out. I still have a hard time believing it.
+Zack Hample I bet dude! hey I have a challenge for you. you should try to get a ball from an nba/nfl/(puck)nhl game. that would be so sweet!
I did once snag a puck during warm-ups at MSG. Didn't really do it for me, though.
zack hample please give me a bucket of baseballs
