I got a funny story. About 8 years ago Ichiro threw a ball up during batting practice. There was a small group he threw it up and I jumped over everyone and snagged it. This lady (clearly an adult) almost starts to cry. I’m in HS at the time and I immediately get heckled by the group of people who also did not get the ball. I literally took off running and that ball is in my living room today. I almost died but it was worth it

my boy spoke japanese just to get a ball, this man is legendary

6:37 was real cool of you Zack, I honestly came back just to watch that part to put a smile on my face. I've seen you give many balls away but that one always makes me feel good inside. I caught my first homers on the fly at dodger stadium last year before game 5 of the NLDS vs. the mets when we lost. However, I gave one of my caught balls to a kid that day and a lot of people I tell this about, heckle me for it; In reality the kid and his fathers smile when I handed it to them really made me feel great. It also gave them an early head start on father/son baseball bonding. It must feel great to make young baseball fans days each game you go to bud.

I can't believe all of the haters that are clearly jealous of how you live it up! Keep doing what you do Zach and Go Brewers!

It made me so happy when he gave the ball to that boy.

That was really awesome giving that ball to that boy

6:36 that was so heartwarming

These videos are addicting. What a life and nice guy!

A bunch of asshole are in the comments making fun of the kid with obvious problems im not gonna let them get to me but your a great guy for giving him that ball you can tell it meant the world to him

Zack, I love it when you rattle off fluent Japanese to the players that speak the language. It goes to show the massive effort you put into your pursuits.

I've known about you for less than 24 hours and you're already one of my favorite youtubers.

huge mariner fan lived here my whole life best sport there is

*this ball has been touched a lot with a lot of MLB players DNA*

1:45 Thank you for mentioning Dae Ho Lee. He was MVP player of South Korean and Japanese league so I'm big fan of him.

Omg 6:39 is the best thing someone can do at a baseball game, that made my day!

Zack I'm not being like a mom but it made me smile when you gave that kid the ball

I love this guy because he has respect for the players

Mad respect for giving that kid the ball

"Touched by a lot of guys"😂

I'm like binge watching your videos

Congrats on the Safeco Field record, Zack. You are the ultimate ballhawker.

This man knows every season ticket holder😂

You did the right thing for giving that kid the baseball I have a little bit of Autism but I never get baseballs he got lucky to be near you.

1:31 thats what she said

I can’t wait until this season’s vids! Love the vids!

Little does Mike Montgomery know he would be on the mound for the last out of the World Series.

That’s awesome that you gave it to that kid in the patio

Zach is so nice and respectful

Zack hample is so nice

Awesome video! I really like the length of them. It kinda gives the perspective of a vlog and is cool to see the sights and sounds after reading the blog entry yesterday. Cant wait to see the next blog and video for Coors!

you are awesome man, you really seem to enjoy life

You're a class act Zack I love watching these videos

Live in Washington been to many Mariners games beautiful ballpark if ur visiting the area definitely visit way worth it

You are one of the best people to watch on youtube and I really hope you keep on doing this for a long time.

is it just me, or when Zack said the word ''commemorative" when he was talking about an Arizona spring training ball he got, it sounded exactly like the crack of wood bat during an MLB game.

I started hysterically laughing when you started speaking Japanese

damn that rangers player made a sick behind the back catch at 7:40 lol

You're awesome Zack! Keep up the great work!

6:39 I love that kid

He’s so nice with giving them to kids

did anyone else notice that incredible behind the back catch at 7:44?

Is it weird that I spend hours watching your channel every day

Most beautiful moment ever look at the kid’s face 6:37

6:36 great job giving that ball to that kid I wish all is well for him

I miss these videos so much this season:((

Can’t wait for Q&A part 17!!! 🤙

You sound like you work at Chik-Fil-A “ My pleasure!”

Alot of people call this guy out because he is a grown up getting balls instead of kids, but this is his profession and you have to respect that.

7:42 did anyone see that sick play he made?

My friend. You have got to be an example of hard work, doing your homework, and appreciating what you love! My only question is, who's your favorite team? I think the answer is The Major's.

I love he gave that baseball to that kid. What a nice guy

These videos are great! I really admire the skill and strategy that you utilize to get the baseballs. There's a lot of things that need to be planned and I don't think a lot of people see that. Keep it going Zack!

6:38 faith in humanity restored

this ball has been touched by a lot of guys... OMG I'm dying!!!!

Amazing videos. I cannot wait for the next one thank u zac

Hey zack, I love your videos and I thank you so much for making such cool videos. Using your tips I got 15 baseballs when I went to Seattle. Please don't stop making awesome content

4:48 Japanese? That's impressive!

Glad to see you are uploading again

How many baseballs do you have? Zack: yes

I am so bummed out that you came up to Safeco and I haven't gotten to meet you Zack. Love watching all your videos & watching again because I always seem to catch something new. My best day at the field was at Tacoma Rainiers (AAA Mariners affiliate) a couple years ago. Two toss ups and a double barehanded catch with my cell phone in one hand but luckily off the bounce. Which is hard to do but a good day for a ball hawk on a wheelchair. My first HR ball was from Mariners legend Alvin Davis sitting with my family in left field at the now blown up kingdome. Keep making videos because for me it would be something I would do if I could roam the aisles with you.

6:36 your the nicest person

Loved Z's comments about toss ups. While it's maybe not as adrenaline inducing as catching a batted ball, the interactions with players/coaches are the thing. Getting an Angles commemorative ball tossed up by Mike Trout to the seats in CF was every bit as special as catching a game HR. IMO.

Awesome Elvis Andrus! He is one of my favs

He probably made that kids day

I cant stop binge watching your videos

This video is almost 6 years old

At start who was watching the garbage guy when he walked by like this if you watched him

Hi Zack. Just wanted to say that I love your passion and expertise in ballhawking. Keep posting!

Zack I really ly ur a big influence on my life because I never caught a ball at a major league game and I would love to meet u bud.

7:23 someone said hEy I wAs RiGhT hErE

(I'm from Seattle) 0:01 did you expect it to be sunny?

Elvis Andrews walk up son is baby shark, and when he comes up to bat, all the kids go crazy

I’ve literally never gotten a baseball at a mlb game

Hey Zack how does it feel to go to a stadium and get 10+ baseballs during one game?

Nice job my man, Lets go for 10k!!!!!!!!!

Finally you are back!

8:29 Some excellent analysis from Zack

My home field. Hell yeah! Now it is called T-mobile field. It will always be called Safeco field in my head.

Anyone notice that he only got 19

You're a good guy , Tossing balls to the kid who didnt get one. It means a lot to a kid getting a ball from a game. It remindes me of when i used to go to AAA Ball games (ottawa lynx) as a kid and chase foul balls and dug out pass's. Keep pushin man! Great videos

does nobody see at 7:40 the guy in the background catches one behind his back

Not an M's fan, but it'd be cool to visit Safeco.

4:55 “JAPENESE” lol😂

i like how he changes hats

Not wearing the Wilson glove this video

Bet Zack know that Mike Montgomery would be traded to the cubs later that season and would on the mound when they got the last out in the world series.

6:38 giving me the feels

I've watched this about 10 times and 6:39 still makes me smile

That was really nice when you gave that ball to the kid

"It's a real beauty. Take a look at that one, it's a real quality ball. I don't like the new balls, I like the beat up, ugly ones because they have character. You know this ball has been used and touched by a lot of guys" Zack Hample 2016

I'm going to opening day at Safeco Field today Zack! Hopefully I'll get at least 1 ball!

Lady in the background was like “that’s not fair” ...wow

At 4:00 he says Mike has a white sounding name

Don't really follow baseball but I follow you Zac Keep the awesome ball hawking videos coming!!!!!

2:22 I did the same thing once at safeco. I was in the second deck and stood up when Jacques Jones was trying to toss a ball to kids. I stood up and waved, he rared back and fired it up

Nice of you to give it to that kid, really enjoy watching your videos too! Keep it up

That’s so cool u give em to kids man

In case you're still wondering, Delino Deshields Jr. Was the first Ranger player to throw you a ball. Nice guy and very humble.

So where is this guys actual seats that he paid for

I don't watch baseball whatsoever but your videos are so entertaining! Keep it up!
