Zack Hample Continues To Be The Worst To Ever Do It

If you are unfamiliar, Zack Hample has made a living of collecting and catching foul balls, as well as home run balls and batting practice balls etc. Guy loves balls. Over what feels like 50 years since I first heard about him, he’s made waves in the oddest of ways throughout baseball involving his hobby. 

First let’s revisit maybe his most famous video “way to use your elbows sir” 

Then of course him training Big Cat in the art of catching balls. 

The time he tried to extort Arod (who would do such a thing) : 

He did end up giving it back for the record. 

Then there’s times we laugh at him falling or getting smoked in the face : 

Anyway, catching foul balls is a very niche story yet somehow this guy is always in the mix. When it boils down to it, it really is the most bizarre hobby of all time and something you wouldn’t thing a guy in his 40’s would have any interest in doing. I don’t think I ever brought a glove to a game. We were raised to enjoy the view have a few hotdogs and bond with our brothers and our dad. Chasing down a 1 in 25,000 shot at a ball was beneath us. I guess it’s not for Zack Hample. Which really is weird to me. 

I really wouldn’t card about this guy if he wasn’t so over the top in the way he operates. Like tonight. Reaching over the fence to disrupt a game to catch a home run … again from a guy in his forties is just bizarre loser type stuff and I wish it didn’t happen to keep giving him attention but by some crazy stroke of luck this guy always finds a way into the headlines. He’s a real enigma.
