I remember meeting Mike Trout when he was playing for the Cedar Rapids Kernals in low-A. I had very little idea of just how great of a player he was going to become. The Beloit Snappers have a cool setup at their park where the players have to walk through the concourse to get to their clubhouses so there is a lot of chance for fan and player interaction. I remember he gave a little kid one of his bats after the game and he stopped and signed a ball for me and we talked for a few minutes. At the time I think I was maybe 11 or 12 so it was a very cool moment for me to be able to talk to a player. It’s cool to see that all these years later he is still an awesome and down-to-earth guy!
And this is exactly why people should find something that makes them happy. Seeing you with nothing but pure joy should be anyone’s goal. It doesn’t have to be baseballs/baseball-related. Just find what makes you happy and support those that are finding their happiness.
It's awesome that you finally got it. Now I can share without feeling like I'm rubbing it in. At the start of last year my brother was Mike's UBER driver and then spent the season trying to connect at the stadium to get a promised ball, at the end of the year, we all thought he wasn't going to get it (we were all watching from across the field) and after a long delay he held up a broken bat from that days game. It took so long after the players were gone because Mike had sent it over to be autheniacated. What a great guy.
Yay! We made it to trending! Awesome job as always, Zack. So glad you finally got it! I’ve always wanted to meet Trout, but I’ve only seen him once, and I couldn’t get him.
Zack I'll be at the yankees/royals game at the K on may 25th for my 30th birthday. It would be an awesome birthday gift if I got to meet you. Hope to see you there!
Hey! Nice t-shirt, I’m committed to Guilford college for Baseball. I will be attending in the fall! Pretty awesome to see you wearing one of there shirts
He played baseball there.. @ Wiggys Warriors, what’s your name? I live just a couple minutes away from Guilford and do some writing for them occasionally, but mainly just go to watch the games. I’ll keep an eye out for you..
man, mike trout is a really great role model. master at his craft and always a big smile on his face when doing it. you can really tell he loves the game and loves the fans. Also really appreciate your videos zack. i really miss globe life park and this was an amazing blast to the past. keep up the good work sir!
Just goes to show you that Mike Trout is truly the best baseball player of this generation! He's the best all around stats wise and even as a wondeful human being
Watching this takes me back to how I used to chase stuff from Griffey. Good to see how much of a nice guy Trout is...and given his level of superstardom....that is even more awesome! Well done and awesome video!
There is an older somewhat wealthy dude that goes to a lot of NBA game and sits courtside. Everyone loves that dude. Not sure why Zack gets dissed by the media.
Zack, Great video. Man you bring back a part of the game that many people forgot. Love your videos. You make the game just that much more fun to watch and be part of.
I have been a life lo g fan of the game..its something my dad and i shared. We would alway tey to make a Mariners game. Sadly my dad passed away 5 years ago. Seeing your videos and videos from other youtubers like Erik Jabs lite the flame ones again. So again thanks. Love watching your videos.
Mike Trout is from my town, he shows love to everyone and all the schools. We have a special section for his honor and his accomplishments near our gym at the high school.
One of my favorite things about you is that you aren’t an autograph seller. Whenever I go to minor league games and see adults getting top prospects autographs, they always talk about how much money they’ll make from it, which makes me sad, because there’s kids that like collecting the autographs for fun (like myself) that I think deserve the ball more. Congrats on the bat, Zack!
I’m 14 and I’ve been collecting Rangers autographs since I was 12 and have not sold a single one. The ones I have that I have 2 of I give to my dad. Globe Life Park was so chill and I hope to ask Mike Trout for an autograph if I go to a Rangers game vs the Angels.
love globe life park. security is nice and i remember when they wouldn’t let anyone on the berm glad they’re letting people have fun and catch a homer on it!. gunna miss Globe life park. i’ve gone to game since i was little. baseball is a beautiful sport!.
The way you felt when you had that bat...that's the way I felt when I caught my first baseball at a major league game, true excitement and bliss, I held onto that thing so tight all the way home that night...
Zack! Center field patch is known as Greene Hill! It was named after the mayor Richard Greene who fought to keep the team in Arlington, Texas in the late 80s and early 90s! Thanks to him for helping keep our beloved Texas Rangers where they belong!
Is their a reason why their building a new stadium? It looks to be in very good condition. Camden Yards is my favorite stadium, but this was always my second favorite and I hate to see it go :(
The main issue is weather. Critics say that the low attendance in games is due to extreme heat in the summer or rain-outs. Hence, that is why they wish a new stadium. Think they could've retrofitted the ballpark to improve it.
@@zackhamplemakes sense thx again for answering because I thought that it had to do with some stadium rules or something for example if they think that you are going to use the cup as an actual cup
I'm watching this video for the first time, I've spent all day watching a ton of Zack's videos, honestly 5/5/22 was the first time I've heard of him crazy enough being a baseball fan myself and visiting 20 stadiums, but on the bat when Mike signed 2x MVP I thought wait I know he has three and wouldn't you know it, later this year (year of the video 2019) he got his 3rd MVP haha, funny how that played out.
You see pro guys all the time be super cool with fans, but how many times do you see the best player in MLB being such a legit, nice person. I met him in KC at Kauffman, and he was super nice and signed for at least 40 kids before the game.
Humble to see baseball kids when you give them a ball and they tell you they already got one. It’s such a little thing to notice but can be the world to the next kid who gets a ball. Good for them!
For real, just have him pop up in the crowd wherever you hit a homer and somehow he’s always there no matter where you hit it or what park you’re at. Have the announcers make some kind of comment on him catching it once in awhile would be pretty cool. Especially since they will occasionally do it in real life if one of them notices it was him
Incredible story man. I can’t believe I haven’t herd of you Zack. I just subscribed to you this week. I am a big baseball fan myself. Unfortunately it is hard for me to travel due to my anxiety problems. But glad I can experience through your videos. Oh yeah. Go Yankees! Sorry 😉
The fans swapped hats, one was rangers and the other was angels. Most people follow a team so he’s frustrated that their trading hats of division rivals, most diehard fans don’t like other teams in their division like Giraffe neck mark who loves the Mets and hates Braves, Phillies and nationals. I think it’s an overreaction. They’ll clearly just collecting hats.
I’ve never seen you this happy in any video you’ve ever made. Congrats, Zack! Very well deserved!
Thank you! I was smiling so hard after the game that I thought my face was gonna break.
@@zackhample Lol
zack u funny :)
failtolawl shut the hell up dumbass, he actually has a good life unlike you.
The Real Phil Swift who are u talking to?
Cringey gaming he probably said that to someone who deleted There comment that he or she regretted
Mike Trout is a good guy
Mike Trout is a good

The joy on Ian’s face is priceless, love that

Zack is clearly the GOAT when it comes to baseball intelligence ,love from Ireland 🇮🇪⚾️🇺🇸
10:16 my best friend was that kid. Thank you so much for putting him in he loves you so much zack

Amen, brotha! Thanks for watching and for the kind words.
It's awesome that you finally got it. Now I can share without feeling like I'm rubbing it in.

Wow, nice! Trouty delivers.
Watching this during the quarantine. Super cool how you always give some balls to kids. Great content!
No matter how much I like the Yankees and they're rivals with the angels, MIKE IS A COOL DUDE.
Mike is an amazing ballplayer and an even better man. Awesome man!
On and off the field
See that's why Mike Trout is a respected player. He's amazing on the field and he delivers what he says off the field
7:30 even the outfielder looked when he yelled hot dogs 😂😂
I’ve met Mike Trout, and that was probably the best experience I’ve ever had in my life. Love your videos Zach.
OH MY GOSH! So cool!
Fuzzy did u close ur eyes when u said that
Yo wassup Fuzzy! Love your videos as well!
yss
What
Are you gad
Hats off to MT ! What a great guy Mike is. He never loses sight of the fans and how much just tossing a ball up means to them. Congrats Zack ! 🇺🇸
Well said. Thank you!
Go to Toronto try to catch Guerrero Jr first dinger
this man makes me so happy just the pure enjoyment and happiness he gets from being at a baseball game is to die for
Why did he get so angry at the trading hats
Dereek Zapatta yeah I noticed that too
I don't think he was angry just confused lol
i don’t think he was angry he was pointing out that they’re more friendly down there
i’m pretty sure the dude on the left was his friend
if you think that's angry you have never been yelled at
Your epic saga has come full circle. Congrats zack on finally completing your trout chapter.. (TROUT, GOAT?)
Thanks! Eight years in the making . . .
congrats zack ! its hard to not like mike trout, hes really an awesome dude n hes kinda good at baseball too
Thanks!
Elite
Yay! We made it to trending! Awesome job as always, Zack. So glad you finally got it! I’ve always wanted to meet Trout, but I’ve only seen him once, and I couldn’t get him.
Thanks so much!
That "cup trick" was awesome!
:)
Mike Trout truly is the best of the best. I am a huge fan and a collector of his cards. This was awesome
Love your relationship with the game baseball, Zack!
Thanks!
Zack I'll be at the yankees/royals game at the K on may 25th for my 30th birthday. It would be an awesome birthday gift if I got to meet you. Hope to see you there!
Thanks but not sure I can make it then.

Trout's a national treasure.
You don't see any other sports with this much player interaction
One of the many reasons why baseball is best!⚾
True!
@@zackhample woohoo Zack!
Definitely
I went there to watch the rangers vs the royals with my grandpa. What great memories. May god rest his soul ❤️
1:55 I would be so embarrassed
Me too
Lol
That hot dog call was on another level
Desi Rojas HOTTT DAAAUUUWWGGGGGG
Zack A-Rod was talking about you durning the Indians Astros ESPN broadcast
Do you have a link to the video of a rod talking about Zack? I’m sure he’ll want to see it! I know I want to see it!
Yup, and he got all the facts wrong. Check my Twitter.
Zack, Great video. Man you bring back a part of the game that many people forgot. Love your videos. You make the game just that much more fun to watch and be part of.
Thanks so much! Make Baseball Fun Again, ha ha ha.

I loved how happy the camera man was when he was asked to sign the ball
lol
Never knew you caught Trout's 1st home run back in 2011... Awsome
Thanks!
I'm not a fan of baseball but I love watching your vids! Keep up the great work dude!
Congrats Zack, You've got Mike Trout's Signed Bat. You deserve a very blessed gift!!

Imagine liking the Orioles
10:32 I’m just gonna file a restraining order
💀💀
Is this Murr from impractical jokers?
hahahahahha
To see all of the videos, it’s amazing to see that you are so happy to do one in Arlington, my hometown which doesn’t get much attention
The videos you make are the type of videos I can watch over and over and never get bored
Same
:)
Mike Trout, man. Whatta guy!
YUP!
Dude congrats... Mike trout is the best player in the mlb... Really Dope you got that awesome Bat.
Thank you!!
3:28 the same gap that some dude fell to his death in
love globe life park. security is nice and i remember when they wouldn’t let anyone on the berm glad they’re letting people have fun and catch a homer on it!. gunna miss Globe life park. i’ve gone to game since i was little. baseball is a beautiful sport!.

I know exactly what you mean. :)
@@zackhample same.
7:29 The guy says Hot Dogs then the Angels outfielder turns around
Because he was screaming his lungs off
Mike Trout is such a nice guy
You should go to the first ever game at the new stadium
Billion dollars wtf
Zack! Center field patch is known as Greene Hill! It was named after the mayor Richard Greene who fought to keep the team in Arlington, Texas in the late 80s and early 90s! Thanks to him for helping keep our beloved Texas Rangers where they belong!
Who else is watching this in quarantine and is super sad bc baseball is not on ⚾️⚾️
Me
7:47 The sky in the background 👌
Is their a reason why their building a new stadium? It looks to be in very good condition. Camden Yards is my favorite stadium, but this was always my second favorite and I hate to see it go :(
Facts! I'm from Boston and get to go to Fenway all the time but the Rangers stadium has always been one of my favorites
The main issue is weather. Critics say that the low attendance in games is due to extreme heat in the summer or rain-outs. Hence, that is why they wish a new stadium. Think they could've retrofitted the ballpark to improve it.
man, that's the life. to travel around from stadium to stadium watching ballgames. not too bad.
Mike trout is a beast I wish he was a Phillie. But I love his loyalty with the Angels
I agree.
pure joy at the end. I could sense the tears of joy almost coming out!
No you couldn’t
Mike Trout is one of the nicest guys ever in MLB
It would be arguably the nicest player right now. That's incredible what he does with his fans.
If and when you come to Miller Park this year. I saw a guy get in trouble for doing the glove trick this year. So just an FYI
Collin Quade Miller Park has strict rules
Not surprised. It's not a fan-friendly place.
I’m hoping to see you in London Zack! I’ll be there for the Yankees-Red Sox Series
He'll be there! You can most likely see him at the game if you arrive when the gates open for BP
I’m glad you got to meet your favorite baseball player ever
Mike Trout is amazing! With the wealth of a small nation.
Me: man I really wish I can get a ball
Zack Hample: has over 10 bazillion balls and bats and still gets 10 bazillion balls and bats
I like Ian, great attitude. KEEP HIM!
You nailed it. Baseball is even more fun with him around.
Ian is doing a great job with the filming
I agree.
Mike Trout is the Man, way to go Zack. I did not know that the Rangers were getting a new stadium. love these videos
Thanks! Now ya know. :)
This is the type of channel that deserves at least a million subscribers
True.
When the dude screamed “HOT DOOOOOG” he got a player to look
HOT DOGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG CHAIN
9:17 I thought "why does that child have a beer? Then I realized thats an adult. I guess everything really isn't bigger in texas.
Oh yeah
It also could be because he is above him so he seems a little smaller
why do you sometimes use the cup trick and other times the glove trick
The cup trick works faster, and there are lots of opportunities with it in Texas.
@@zackhamplemakes sense
thx again for answering because I thought that it had to do with some stadium rules or something
for example if they think that you are going to use the cup as an actual cup

That is so awesome! Mike Trout is one of my favorite players. Keep catching those homers and keep up the great videos!
Why do I watch this dude I have no interest in baseball at all but this is like the 39th video I’ve watched from him
Only 39? Gotta get that number to triple digits. ;)
7:24 lmao look at the left fielder😂😂
What about him?
@@yankiizgamez-ps4-pc-andmor281 he was like who tf is screaming like that
"The milky way will have imploded on itself"
But the milky way won't implode, it'll combine with the Andromeda Galaxy, approaching fast.
nicholas mitchell I’m an idiot is this bad
I’m a Dodger fan but I think Mike Trout is the best player in MLB and arguably the most classiest guy in MLB he deserves his contract.
Agreed
Nice of you to say.
You see pro guys all the time be super cool with fans, but how many times do you see the best player in MLB being such a legit, nice person. I met him in KC at Kauffman, and he was super nice and signed for at least 40 kids before the game.
10,706 baseballs? Dude wtf I don’t even know how I got to this channel
Congrats man!! So sick
I just got back from playing in a cal Ripken baseball tournament!
Drew Coleman nice
Little league🙄🙄
JSM luckyy Travle ball
Congrats Zack! That’s so awesome!! HOME RUN KING!!!
:)
Humble to see baseball kids when you give them a ball and they tell you they already got one. It’s such a little thing to notice but can be the world to the next kid who gets a ball. Good for them!
MLB the show should put him in the game next year. It would be awesome to see him catching a home run in the show.
For real, just have him pop up in the crowd wherever you hit a homer and somehow he’s always there no matter where you hit it or what park you’re at. Have the announcers make some kind of comment on him catching it once in awhile would be pretty cool. Especially since they will occasionally do it in real life if one of them notices it was him
Mike Trout is a 3x mvp * and a goat!
I wonder if you's are all gonna be talkin trash when Zack gets an Honorary induction into The Baseball Hall Of Fame for most baseballs ever caught!
Bunch of jealous ppl, it's funny they even watch the videos ..just to be dbags...makes alot of sense
Zack. Where is the best place in Yankee Stadium, Phillies Stadium, Citi Field to catch a homerun baseball
Incredible story man. I can’t believe I haven’t herd of you Zack. I just subscribed to you this week. I am a big baseball fan myself. Unfortunately it is hard for me to travel due to my anxiety problems. But glad I can experience through your videos. Oh yeah. Go Yankees! Sorry 😉
9:46 why is he so damn mad😂😂
The fans swapped hats, one was rangers and the other was angels. Most people follow a team so he’s frustrated that their trading hats of division rivals, most diehard fans don’t like other teams in their division like Giraffe neck mark who loves the Mets and hates Braves, Phillies and nationals. I think it’s an overreaction. They’ll clearly just collecting hats.
Ian seems like quite the character
He's hilarious and so much fun to work with.
This video was brilliant. Zach was so happy 🙂
Is Zach ur friend?
Jay Cukier no I wish😂
Where did u get The cup you used to retrieve the baseball? U made it?
you going to get the cc bobblehead Saturday at yannkee stadium?
