This is the kid that grew up silent in highschool. His dad took him to every baseball game for their favorite home team. Every single game. And now he does what he love and shares it with the world. How awesome!
Never caught a home run, never sat out there. I did catch a foul ball once at Petco Park, gave it to a little boy about 8 years ago sitting near me. The look on his face was priceless. Made my day and probably his too. People sitting next to me said that was an awesome thing that you did. My response was, I was just wanted to do the right thing. Actually it made MY DAY.
I’ve watched so many of your videos and I’m glad to see that people still let others get involved and you giving those kids the balls or letting them take pictures with that bat just keeps this Great American sport alive!
I’m not really a fan of baseball and yes like everyone else I kinda lold at all the empty seats. But, it’s pretty fun to just watch someone this passionate about anything, he knows all the peoples names at the start clearly all regulars.
Are used to love going to Yankee Stadium I was 14, 15 and 16 years old, and getting there right when the stadium opened up during batting practice, and being the first one there and getting 2 to 3 balls before the game started. That was lotta fun. But when I got to my late 20s I realize that these balls are not really doing anything sitting around in my house, so I gave them all away to kids in my neighborhood and to children that I worked with and Taught.
@@boofert.washington2499 Trout is a BEAST on the field. And for collectibility, Trout is the ONLY player from the 21st century whos BASE rookie card is over $300. One of his 1/1 cards went for $400,000+. He is easily the Babe Ruth of the 21st Century.
That's cool, that bat is Jeff McNeil's signature knob/bat series with Dove Tail Bats and I wasn't aware that anyone other than McNeil used it. Very unique.
I live in LA and go to a lot of Dodger games. It’s like night and day - the stadium is always packed with fans and nearly impossible to get foul balls. It’s really sad to see such an empty stadium.....but cool that you got such a unique experience.
DaType01Kid and..? Why schedule a game with an embarrassing low attendance? There were like under a 1000 people. At Dodger stadium during the week there’s rarely a game, and if there is it’s be at least 2/3 full of more. I’ve never seen a stadium that Empty.... ever!
im a sports fan passionately, although im not BIG on baseball, i enjoy it to an extent. with that being said your videos make me love the sport more and more every click. coming from a non baseball fanatic, i admire your commitment and love for a sport that im appreciating more on the daily. love the content keep up the hard work.
No one, and I mean NO ONE appreciates Balls more than Zack. Catching them, watching them bounce, being dragged across plates, or just watching it gently touch the shaft of the bat during Bunts, No one appreciates Balls more than Zack.
Went to high school with Matz, he was a super cool guy. Its a weird feeling now seeing how big hes gotten, but to me hes just a kid I used to play b-ball with in gym class.
You can see it on youtube. Search for the video titled "Trout drills his first career home run". He even caught it on the fly while hopping over a row of seats!
Thanks for watching! Check out my merch here: www.zackhample.com/merch

I bought some it fits well
Yo what is up Zack! I like your videos. Keep up the good work Zack!

Steve Matz is a pitcher which makes getting his first homerun ball even more special.
I dont even watch baseball but gotta love the passion this guy have! Damn that second 1st homerun ball that got away.. so close!
He really caught mike trouts first home run
Look it up and you can see it
So crazy haha
Yes
Wow thats freaking awesome.
He did

You caught Mike Trouts first homer!?? That’s badass!
I thought the same thing
And ARods 3000th hit. Dude is crazy
That’s nothing you ever hear of a guy named Junior Lake. I caught his 1st HR ball.

Robert Ritchey it’s in his documentary
Didn’t know Murr was a huge baseball fan
BRUH
You caught Mike Trouts first homer?? That’s so cool
5:49 he’s just trying to sell hot dogs man 😔
why is this in my recommended 2 years later
Not only is it his first home run Matz is a pitcher so it could end up being Matz's only career home run, especially with the DH coming in.
3:38 Zachary went for a fist pump and the guy jive fived him lol
3:37 that fist bump tho
Go to 11:36 and pause it then look at Benny then look at the picture to the right. They're doing the same thing pretty much.
Wow
This is the emptiest game I’ve ever seen. Might as well have been a practice.
What ever happened to the Canaanites?
Zacks favorite time of the year
The kids are at school
And most people are at work
Hell yeah
Yup!

“We get it. There’s nobody here to buy your hotdogs.” 😂😂 haha
Went to school with matz and played travel ball with him, awesome guy congrats on the catch!
Imagine how chill it would be to play this game

Me: hasn’t caught a single one.
I have 2
I got one at a Padres game in petco park. A brewers outfielder threw it to my section

Thanks for noticing. :)
Baseballs*
Lou Salvador No just baseball not baseballs lol
4:58 when the chicken fingers are hot, the Mountain Dew is cold and the ladies are moist.
That hot dog vendor yelling out of the blue was great lmfao 5:49
have you ever cought a home run ball out of the hole staduiom or behind the whole staduiam
I think he did at the pirates stadium but I’m not sure if it was him
Omg you caught trouts first HR... what luck!
That Rojas HR was right to you but kudos to Benny for not interfering. That bat was unique and kudos to the Mets for taking care of you.
woah thats so cool having mike trouts first homerun ball
y’all stop bashin him he’s doing what he loves in an awesome and extremely fun way. and he’s probably making more money than u haters 🚫🧢
Sully Sullivan exactly
Joe Turner lmao
It’s crazy watching this now with Jeff Siegel in the video and the documentary is currently available and it’s incredible. Awesome journey
I get a strong serial killer vibe from you. Just something seems off..

You’re always in the right place at the right time way to go zack !

Zack: * fistbump *
Guy: * high five *
Thank you for giving that ball to the Child. That was nice of you.
He always does. He only keeps the very important balls and the home run balls
Genuinely thought this was murr from impractical jokers
Paul Brown me too
Paul Brown lol I see what you mean! Lol
Dude understand it's the worst day of the year for me but you got me smiling with faith wow thanks
You look murry from Impractical jokers
Plot twist. It is him
Not really
You've gotten over 10,000 baseballs and this is a year and half ago... I think you have a problem.
For real
What an awesome experience! I love your channel, Zack!
WOW! You got Mike Trout's 1st home run ball?? Your the man bro what did you get in return? That ball today is priceless man!
Mike Trout gave him a signed bat.
Priceless? It's Mike Trout, not Babe Ruth.
Boofer T. Washington yeah priceless. Maybe in 60 years he will be remembered like Babe Ruth.

14 people at a major league baseball game. Wonder how they pay those huge contracts? 27.50 for a beer oh that's right.
I CANT WAIT TILL THIS SEASONS VIDEOS ZACH !!!!!!!!!!!!
I don’t know how baseball works but the videos are fun

Good job catching Steven Matz first home run
3:35 my mans high fives his fist bump
I remember jumping over seats and stealing baseballs from people. Oh to be 10 years old again!
"security told me it was time to go" LOL
The savagery towards the hot dog man
HOT DOOOOOOG
You caught Trout's 1st HR? That's huge. I bet you wish you kept it.

Well the Dodgers contend a lot. Mets sucked during this time.

Zack gives out more autographs than the ball players... lol

I like how this is showing up in my recommended after the fact that MLB's season has been shut down.
The seats are gonna be empty that's for sure.
Overkill how come they are empty in that video?
Zack: the Mets where very friendly
Me: can't say the same for the mascot 😆
The baseball gods have obviously blessed you. Your baseball life is amazing
Nobody:

It would be interesting if you made a video describing how you would design your ideal baseball stadium
It would be. Maybe someday.
