  • BEST. DAY. EVER. I got 20 baseballs before the game and THREE home runs during the game including Alex Blandino's 1st career homer. After the game I gave that ball to him and got a signed bat in exchange. If you've ever wondered what happens when you catch a milestone home run and the player wants it for himself, this is the video for you. I dealt with stadium security and various Reds officials. It was insane, and I'm so glad to be able to share the experience with everyone.
    As I mentioned, here's the video of my baseball bat collection:

    Also, for those who don't know, every baseball that I snag this season is raising money for a children's baseball charity called Pitch In For Baseball. Here's a direct link to my fundraiser:

    This video was filmed on May 1, 2018. Thanks for watching!

    I don’t understand the hate Zack gets over this. For him to ask to be the one to hand it back to the player, is NOT unreasonable ! He doesn’t put these on eBay and has every right to hand it to the player directly. Like Zack said, security wants to be the one to take credit for “getting the ball”, but that’s BS ! Fans don’t have to give the ball back at all. I agree with Zack 100% here and if the player isn’t willing to meet and thank the fan for returning the ball, then F them !, they don’t deserve to get it back. 🇺🇸🇺🇸

    All this negativity toward Zack and for what? Zack is living his best life, traveling the world watching baseball! While the haters are down here in the comments section pursuing nothing but negativity. Watch more than a minute of his videos and witness him handing balls to kids and adults alike. Thank you Zack. Living vicariously through you and grateful to partake in the fun! Cheers.

    That security was really trying to take advantage of you. Good on you for using the ball to create a great moment you'll never forget. Some may call it a dick move, I disagree completely. You earned that ball and you earned that experience in meeting Alex.

    I guess one of the things that makes these videos so addicting and exciting is that Zack still gets excited like it's the first time he ever caught a ball. It cracks me up how security expects a fan to just roll over and had over the ball like no big deal.

    Why does everyone hate this guy, some people have luck, and also it’s not like he’s taking balls from kids, he’s getting them fair and square. If he finds happiness in getting baseballs from mlb games that’s his thing, not like he’s doing horrible things to their world, it’s not greed, all luck and skill, deal with it. Btw, when he does take a ball from someone, they’re cool wit it, stop hating because you can’t hate baseballs

    Hey Zack My Uncle is the assistant coach for North Eastern college. On Friday I went to see North Eastern play the Red Sox in jet blue park and after the game I went over to the Red Sox dugout and as the ball boy was walking out he toss me the ball. That was my first ever ball. What I’m saying is you inspire me so much to go to every baseball game I can and get every ball I can try to get.

      He gets hate because hes an asshole. He leveraged an autograph and meet out of Blandino with a pretty personal and important moment to the player. Doesn't matter if he's "living life having fun enjoying americas pastime" when he does it at the expense of another he looks like a fucking douche. Love his videos, love baseball but his move was douchey and the only reason you posted that comment is because everyone made their opinions about it clear already.

      Lord Baphomel I don’t see the problem with it, he caught the ball, he paid for the seat tickets, and any ball that comes into the stands and is picked up by a person is now that persons property, nothing wrong with him wanting something back for it, and his request wasn’t really that bad, and I don’t understand the hate that he gets, any kid that’s around him gets a ball most of the time and that wouldn’t with anyone else.

      @@mikehoncho658 Negative. Just because the ball is hit in the crowd doesn't mean it's his property. I'm not sure where you get that but they give balls out of courtesy and if they want them back it's theirs, they paid for it. Japan is a prime example of this, after home runs security takes the balls. By your logic I could walk in a resturaunts and order food and just take the plates because they brought them to my table.

(He also talked about the player getting the ball "back." Remember, fans, if you catch a ball, it's YOURS, so you're doing a nice thing to give it to a player if he wants it, you're not giving him "back" anything.)

    The usher at 5:45 is the “hard ass” that checks tickets when there are 1,200 people at the game.

      Not that guy! This particular game was last September. We always move around the ballpark. I was carrying my 3 year old and food. We walked up and he promptly asked to see our tickets. I tried to play it off but told him my seats are up behind home plate. He said “then that is where you need to go.” I asked if he was kidding and he said “does it look like I got jokes?” We go to about 4 games a year and he always works that section in right field. So on that particular day we simply moved over a section and sat down with no issues.
