How did it feel to be back in Houston for the first time since the cheating scandal broke? I should’ve talked about this in the video, and I actually did film something about it at the stadium, but I didn’t like how it turned out, so now you're getting my written thoughts instead. Anyway, if you’ve seen my videos from 2016 and 2017, you might remember that I used to LOVE the Astros. Several players and coaches were really cool with me (special shoutout to Evan Gattis and Carlos Munoz), and I was rooting for them all the way. Then the bad stuff happened and I became critical of the team. I still stand behind what I said, but you may recall that in my Yankees-vs-Astros video last year, I also expressed my respect for Astros fans for continuing to support their team. I still stand behind that as well. Personally I’m ready to move on from all of this drama. It’s not healthy to stay mad forever, and of course other teams cheated too (cough-cough, Red Sox and Yankees), so placing ALL of my anger on the Astros isn’t even fair. Of course that doesn’t excuse cheating. I think it sucks, but in this case I’m kinda/sorta over it. That’s why I had no problem wearing an Astros cap. I mean, after all, it’s just a piece of fabric, right? 🤣 One insane Astros fan got in my face about being a hypocrite for bashing the team and now wearing an Astros cap and begging the players for baseballs. Whatever. I understand that argument, but FYI I’ve owned every team’s cap since I was 15 years old, and I haven’t had a favorite team for most of my adult life. Astros fans overall were VERY nice to me during my three-day trip (two more vids coming after this one!) and I truly appreciate that. Ultimately we’re all baseball fans, and I have nothing but love for the city of Houston. I hope this all makes sense. Thank you for reading/watching and I’d be delighted to hear your thoughts.

4:00 WOWWWW!!!! Can we give some PROPS to Fenway Chris for that amazing shot!?!?!? Absolutely beautiful camera work 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 tracked the ball in the air and then perfectly timed the pan over to Zack to see his full effort going for the ball plus the catch. Bravo bravo 👍🏼

You are a big part of why baseball continues to survive. I thank you for that, because I love this game more than life itself. I appreciate and admire you Mr. Hample

I was glad to finally see you in person Zack! Love my Astros and love your work!

I want to thank you Zack for bringing back my love of baseball. I played as a kid in the 70's and loved the Pirates and now love the Rays since I live in Tampa! I hope to meet you when you make it to a future Rays game!

I miss Minute Maid. Got a ball there during Biggio's last homestand against the Braves many years ago. Love the outfield seats, especially in right because it feels like you're in the outfielder's back pocket.

I found your channel a little while ago and I’ve really enjoyed watching your videos. You’re reminding me of childhood memories I forgot that were some of my happiest, so thanks for all you do

Great video as always Zack!!! Love your videos since 2016😎🤙🏻

I’m looking back at this videos and it’s super inspirational to see myself in at 5:04 man what a game I ended up getting a toss up from Myles straw and a toss up from the astros catcher which made all of my friends jealous keep up the good work zack and hope to see u again soon

I Love your videos they always make my day. Because it gives a great can point of view . So thanks

Nice Cleveland Guardians New Era Fitted And Jersey Mr. Hample Shout Out Fenway Chris The Dynamic Duo Does It Again Dope Edits By Zac Gutherman Good Job Fellas!

Zack’s videos fire me up much love.

4:00 I love how the guy acts like Zack stole the ball right out of his hands when he actually just saved his life 😂. Great catch man.

OUTSTANDING! 🥳 Beautifully photographed by Fenway Chris! 🎥 The rack-zoom out BP shots are especially fabulous. 💥 Amazing catches from Z on the BP 💣and the toss-up behind the NBA player.😯 Those logo balls are siq. 🤤🤩 I'll trade you a Salt River Fields ball...? 🥸 Appreciate your comments as well - as a Dodger fan I can agree with moving on and hope we get a shot at them again in the future.🏆 🗑🥁❌ Thanks for the great content guys! ⚾👏

Was hoping that you would catch another Cleveland game soon! Awesome video Zack!

Great video and congrats on the rare baseballs. You are sure getting your hands on those this year like how Dustin Hughes hooked you up with the 2020 Opening Day ball recently.

So, you have said in previous videos how you dislike the Astros because they cheated and wouldn’t ever attend another Astros game in the future, but no mention of it when attending benefits you? Funny

Amazing video! Also, super pumped I finally got to meet you! It was cool as well to be in a few shots in this vid!

love the vids man!!!

Happy memorial day weekend Zack, thank you for awesome KZfaq video.

Hey Zack! A new subscriber here from the UK! You just appeared in my recommended sometime last week! Loving the content and have been trying to catch up on all the backlog of videos, I was just wondering do you have an upload schedule or is it just as and when? Let’s hope you catch more baseballs! Definitely deserve more subscribers, great channel!

That guy jumped so high for that toss up haha Nice catch Zack! Hope you have a great weekend!

Dude, at 2:22 that ball hit me. I texted my dad about it. I literally just walked into the stadium and got drilled because i was trying to catch the projection, and lost the ball due to height line of sight. Can't believe I didn't recognize you right there. Welcome back to my second home. I was in the gray Bregman jersey

glad to see ya back in houston!

Love the sights and sounds of a ball game and the food

FINALLY MINUTE MAID PARK! THUMPS UP

LETS GOOO WELCOME BACK TO HOUSTON WE LOVE YOU ZACK

Thank you so much for coming back zack u signed my glove after catching that BP homer! :)

Great video Zack, but gotta give credit to Fenway Chris for those amazing shots, following the ball like that in mid air is not easy to do!! Also when are you coming to Las Vegas for a LV Aviators game? I work in the Club Level and could give you a tour of the place.⚾️⚾️⚾️👍👍👍

Can’t wait to see you back in Kansas City. Always a good day when you post!

zack > cleaning my room

Great video zack! Come to Atlanta soon, to be at stadium for the team who won the world series! :)

Hi Zack! Just wanted to remind you that the Boston Red Sox also used electronic sign stealing in 2017 and 2018, and were penalized by MLB for doing so. Also, the New York Yankees were penalized by MLB for using electronic sign stealing as well. The 2017 and 2018 Los Angeles Dodgers were also documented for using electronic sign stealing by highly credible baseball writers Evan Drellich and Ken Rosenthal, and several players went on record to back that up. Thanks!

Zack you have inspired me to go to more MLB stadium because Seeing you catch baseballs wants me to do it more keep up the good work.

You literally have every baseball fans dream job Zack! Congrats bro I’m very happy to see someone as cool as you happy

I love your videos so much

Hey Zack thank you for reading peoples comments unlike some other guys it just lets us know that you wanna know what we say and do some our ideas to make your video’s better. Thanks for being awesome

About that visitor bullpen - random trivia for you.. the visitor bullpen is stuffed into that walkway because when they designed the stadium, they straight up forgot to include a visitor bullpen. By the time they realized it, the major layout had been done, so they converted a maintenance access space into the bullpen. It's the only spot where there is still astroturf because it doesn't get sun. For years it didn't even have seats, then they added one that didn't face the field.

Love watching your vids from a Diehard Cricket fan in NZ

Zack! Glad to see you in Houston!! Welcome back!!

Man I love the logo balls and the ring you got I’m jealous you got to go I live in Texas and can’t afford this year to make it. I love your videos keep it up man

I started ballhawking last year but only went 40 min early so I averaged about 2 balls a game. I have been going 2 hours early and I’ve been to 3 games with 8 baseballs in total. Going to the guardians game on Memorial Day. Hope to get some baseballs!

Hey Zack how are you doing? Wouldn't you not mind me ask what was special about the commemerativ balls at this game you went to? Keep up the great work good sir.

I don’t care what anyone says but Cleveland will always be the Indians to true baseball fans

I met this dude at Busch stadium yesterday. Such a cool dude

Can we have a Fenway Chris beer chug each video 🐐

Zack I was at this game but when I got there you were going from right field to left field and you looked like you were in a hurry so I didn’t try to get in your way but it was cool seeing you in person.

Good see the Indians! Lol Getting some air time. Planning to come to Progressive Field?

Hey zack I love your videos. I had a question for you what do you think is your favorite mlb stadium you have been to

How about some more food in the videos!? Something about ballpark food that is so American and awesome! We would all love to see more

Minute Maid Park is so cool Zack 😀 (Your Pinned response is just perfect)
