    But seriously, I was ON THE FIELD with "Donnie Baseball" and we had a really nice conversation. He's seen me on TV, and he appreciates the analytics of catching baseballs in the stands at MLB games.
    Many thanks to Richard Bleier and the Miami Marlins for setting this up. The access was unbelievable and I was able to snag a few baseballs and "win" a funny bet in the process.
    I also got some autographs, caught up with a few friends, saw the San Diego Padres hit a grand slam, and sat in a great place to catch foul balls during the game.

    Also, as promised, here's the video I did recently in Cincinnati when Richard Bleier and Tanner Scott were competing to throw me the most balls:

    Awesome video! Mattingly was my favorite player growing up. So sorry about all the negativity and name calling happening recently .It’s too bad. Anybody who is a fan and actually watches your videos knows what a good guy you are and how what you do is good for the game . Period ❤️

      This is not a good guy. People pay for front row seats in the stands, and this guy runs down walkways across sections, cuts in front of them to squeeze between the person and the fence right in front of them, and steals a ball. Just because he didn't bowl the person over doesn't mean it isn't a garbage move; it is. This happened in Boston, theres video proof. He thinks he makes up for it by giving foul balls to kids; no kid on this earth would choose getting a ball handed to them by a 44 year old scumbag over catching a ball off a bat from a major league player.
      Zack Hample is the definition of a garbage human being who makes the game worse for everyone around him.

    7:26 Exactly my stance. I don't chase foul balls etc., I don't try for autos, simply getting the chance to talk with a player and get to know the person is what I want. I heard bullpen pitcher for the Royals (my team) Josh Staumont likes Pokemon and collects cards, well one game I showed up with a pack and tossed him it, we got to chat for a minute and he gave me a ball. Not my goal but now I get to add him to my book. The Dodgers were in town semi recently and I got to show Justin Turner my sign which read, "Justin Turner, I can beat you at Catan." (it's a board game) and he read the sign, smiled and shook his head no and we had a moment and that is way more valuable to me than a signed ball. Different perspectives and that's okay. Glad you had that interaction Zack.

He still talks about it and that ball goes everywhere with him, as if its some sort of safety blanket or something.
