I snagged 27 BASEBALLS at Yankee Stadium!

- I have NEVER seen anything like this. It felt like the Oakland A's were trying to get rid of all their baseballs. Dustin Hughes, the team's bullpen catcher, is the NICEST guy -- he threw me 17 balls over the course of the day! Yes, that's a record, and yes it was ridiculous. And then he also gave me the lineup card. Oh, and one of the balls was a game home run hit by Jordan Diaz.
As I mentioned in the video, all the baseballs that I snag this season at MLB games are raising money for a charity to help kids play ball. It's called Pitch In For Baseball & Softball, and if you donate, you'll have a chance to win some cool prizes. Here's more info about the fundraiser:
pledgeit.org/zack-hample-ball...
Check out the charity's website here:
pifbs.org/
I also mentioned in the video that I'd link to a page on my website that has all of my lineup cards, so here you go:

This game took place on May 9, 2023. The video was filmed and edited by Rachel Messbauer. Thanks for watching! - Sport
Huge shoutout to Dustin Hughes and the Oakland A's for their INCREDIBLE display of generosity. People love to bash this team, but in all seriousness, this is what MLB needs -- more players and coaches who truly care about the fans/kids and are going out of their way to make things fun. ❤
In fairness, it looks like the A's and Yankees have one player each in the lineup hitting for average. I think Dustin should be negotiating the deal with Oakland for a new ballpark. You couldn't BE more despised than John Fisher is in Oakland right now, and Dustin Hughes should handle all PR as well. If you saw The Daily Woo's day at the A's Colisseum last year, he highlighted the loyal fans who all sit together, the fans' band, the real characters at that park. The Colisseum isn't fixable, due to plumbing backup and being built below sea level, but Dustin could charm the socks off of Oakland's lady mayor, and not leave those wonderful loyal fans bereft.
Where did you obtain your black MLB umpire hat? The hat is ultra slick my dude. 👍🏻😉
Thanks Zack for being so cool when I met you I am the kid that met you first when you were on the phone and during the game got a toss up and you signed it thank you so much
All balls must go! (Less weight for the trucks to move to Las Vegas, lol)
It's not the players fault. None of them will be playing in vegas, they will as they said in "Minor League" "sent down, traded, or given their outright release to build a better team"
Zack, I am the Japanese man wearing navy long sleeve shirts on this video. It was nice to see you and thank you so much for giving the balls to my kids.
Heyyyy, it's good to hear from you, and you're welcome! Glad you guys had a good time.
Seeing you give the “old people” a ball was cool, but the kids attacking you in the tunnel was priceless!
That was pretty damn fun.
When u heading to Seattle
@@Tylerparcher12 as a Mariner fan, i hope NEVER EVER
@@zeljkamiskic2632 Why?
Gotta love the high total, especially with how tough Yankee Stadium can be sometimes. This is also the perfect proof video for haters. Literally EVERY BALL was given away! And the proceeds benefit an AMAZING charity with PIFB which only grows the sport of baseball!!!
And this was filmed before all the haters decided to jump down my throat, so I wasn't trying to "prove" anything -- just doing my thing.
@6:53 I’m happy that little kid got one. I bet everyone that got a ball from you, that it really made their day. Some memories like getting a MLB baseball last a life time for some people. Good stuff! 👍
Thank you! And yes, these memories really do last.
Yeah yeah…stained shirt (it was dirt) Otherwise, had so much fun Zack! Thanks for going in early with me that day! I had a blast!
Bahahaha!! Sorry for giving you a hard time -- all in good fun. You're the best, Max.
TREMENDOUS! Way to go Z! Thanks for bringing so much joy! And thanks to Dhog! What a day!
Thanks and yeah, Dhog is the GOAT.
Zack I just can’t put this in to words love your vids and when I have a bad day I watch you and makes my day thank you zack for being so insperatinal bye
Crazy how you put it into words 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you, Nicole! When I see comments like yours, that makes MY day better.
@@zackhample thank you zack
@@bk_goatkim679 bro do you think the mullins guy wants a fucking hand out from zack just cause hes disabled?
@@nicolematthews814 your location is interesting.
your def a big part in my rejuvenation in baseball I hadn't watched in years starting to come back around thank you
Awesome! Really glad to hear that I've helped make it more fun.
Awesome video!
I worked at a fast food place once and when little league teams came in I would point out the different positions each player might play. So I guessed who was the catcher, who is the pitcher, second base, short stop etc. etc. It was a fun way to interact with the team as they placed orders.
The moments always brought me back to my little league days.
Carry on Zack!
Aww, that's fun.
Dustin Hughes gave me and my son several balls last year when they were playing the Rays, he’s so kind.. he talked with us and was giving baseballs to all the kids!
Looked like you had a great time Zack! Had a great time and raised a ton of money for charity. You’re a class act Zack.
As an A’s fan at least we got something, we’re the best team at giving away baseballs 😂
Always enjoy your videos bro.. Keep up the awesome work you do.
Amazing video, Zack! Glad I was there for this crazy night. Got to catch you again soon since now I’ve seen you in April and May. We’ll be in touch as always and hopefully see you again soon. Also, please tell Rachel I say hello and that I say she did a tremendous job on this video. I hope this one gets tons of views. Love you, Zack!
Thank you, Aidan! Glad you got to be in the video snagging a ball. :D
12:10 “Thank you so much, Zack. God, I appreciate it”. I felt that. Like how can you not be romantic about baseball?
Shoutout to Dustin Hughes and The A’s for making this your best video to date
That was a great moment.
Now that was pretty funny, if not a little wild....he was thowing you balls when you weren't looking. Haha. WTG Dustin!! No people were hurt during the hookup of these baseballs.
Very cool that the balls hawked now raise money for Pitch In For Baseball & Softball!!
Thanks and yeah, even my videographer wasn't ready for a few of these.
Zack we love ❤ all the interactions with the pros....I will support your charity hands down everything it's needed..you help me I help your charity and what u do helps millions ❤ all the love zack
As always, generous and charitable…💜
Keep up the fine work, kiddo…⚾️
Thanks, K!
Ur the absolute best ❤ I watch all you’re videos and sooooo KIND!!! thank you for you grateness
Thanks, Holden, that means a lot.
Awesome to see Drew Rucinski! The guy dominated in the KBO playing for my NC Dino's last year and I'm happy to see him in the MLB. Hopefully he starts winning there, too.
The way kids flock to Zack is absolutely wonderful! Their faces light up, and I swear that some of them would rather get an autograph from Zack than the players on the field!
It's really sweet and I always appreciate it.
Once again, a great Ambassador to baseball, Zack!
Most people don’t think about it but giving a ball to someone who’s not a little kid would probably mean a lot more because there’s a greater chance than an older fan keeps up with more of the games and will remember that moment more vividly.

Another great video i love your videos zack when you upload i see the video and i know its gonna be a great day you make me forget about everything when im watching your videos much love Zack 💯❤️
Thank you, 49er faithful!
@@zackhample no problem 💯❤️ you make my day
Hey zack since I’ve been watching your videos u really inspired me, and with you getting baseballs at major league stadiums I have been getting baseballs at minor league stadiums, u are truly inspiring!
Awesome! Glad to hear that.
Thanks Zack for being so cool when I met you I am the kid that met you first when you were on the phone and during the game got a toss up and you signed it thank you so much if you remember me please heart it
Totally remember you. You're welcome!
You should get a “Zack Hample Gift” stamp to put on balls.
Wow, that would be fun but also egomaniacal so I'll pass.
Wow, that was hilarious. Great video Zach.
I wish all MLB teams were this generous! Maybe some teams could take lessons from The A's! But great video Zack!
For real, Peyton!
Congratulations! I don’t know how you do it, but you are a very nice to every baseball player!
You've gotten a lot of heat on social media lately, and I've always had your back.
Giving to charity, handing off basically all of the 27 balls you got to kids... it's a nonchalant FU too the haters.
Keep up the videos and great work!
#GoatGazette
Thanks. Yeah, I'm just out here having fun and trying to help others do the same.
Yeah being on social media can be brutal so it's comments like these that need to be said so good people like Zach can read them and keep proper perspective. I am sure it's tough cause the rude ones are loud but it's ok, we can be louder. :)
This is what it’s all about, giving back!
Back in your hometown nice Athletics really messed up bad back then I really feel bad for them glad they are still a kind group and setting something up too and you getting a lot of baseballs is your signature move.
Zack with the monster day! Can’t wait to see the homers fly your way! Wait….one might have 🤫
Heh, thanks Yost!
Yeah buddy!! And yeah Dustin!!! Good stuff.
I went at the Wednesday game last week, and Dustin Hugues also tossed me a ball and was very generous with Yankees fans. Such a good guy !
Your videos are great! Hope you have an awesome day!!!
Thanks!
@@zackhample No problem!!
awesome video.Keeps on getting better
I've got a bit of hearing loss, Zack, so I like the closed captions a lot. When they'rre not on a video, I don't know if time or finances is the issue, and I appreciate all you do. My vote, if I get one, is cc on all your full-length vids, please. Jim K in Nashville. Reach out if you ever want a guide or driver in Nashville, BTW.
Thank you for the offer! And I will look into this . . .
Love Seeing The Kids
Excited And Happy

Thank You For The Shout Out Zack
I Appreciate It!
I love your vids I met you last night at the Orioles game for the first time
👋
Zack 'Sosa' Hample: "Beisballs habb been berry berry good for me and I have been berry berry good to beisballs!"
👆⚾🤙
“Could have been a monster day” LOL IT WAS
Ha, yep.
Watching all those kids go crazy amd how kind you were, it makes me laugh at the stupid trolls who put you down. You are awesome man, keep doing you, they are just jealous
Thanks. Of course those trolls will never watch my videos -- just bash me from their dungeons.
@Zack Hanple you are the man just for replying to your fans on CZcams, let alone everything else you do for the kids.
:)
I live in a world where a ball hawk has interns. I need to rethink my life.
Geddy Lee Lifeson Peart!!! 👊
A full-time CZcamsr and content creator with his own small production company has interns. FTFY
Love the vids man!
Thanks for watching.
Love got Zack it would be amazing to meet you at a game in texas one day huge fan
Maybe someday!
I'm late but giving you a solid B tonight on the uploads.. I will make a donation tomorrow morning, and I feel like Oakland just appreciates fans being their in general, considering nobody shows up in oakland. I may be 39 years old and live in Tampa but I've been watching you last seven years and it's so salty about all the hate you get.... so great job Zack and Aiden
*Aidan (sorry, had to correct you since Aidan always corrects people who spell my name wrong) . . . but really, thanks. Glad you enjoyed this one.
@@zackhample my bad
Zack with another entertaining video as always
Zack Hample for president
If that happened, we'd all be having SOOOO much more fun.
Wow, Max is so cool for hooking you up with tickets. Max should have more camera time in your videos. Great person, top man.
I agree. He's the best.
@@zackhample I agree with that. Would be cool if a lot of people asked for his autograph, I bet he would love that.. I wish to one day meet him and get his signature on a brand new baseball.
@@hundenbilly3401 Comment made my day. Thanks my guy!
Dustin Hughes is a emptying out the inventory lol.
Props to the A's!
Zack you are the Pied Piper of baseball ⚾️ ❤
Ha, thanks.
Nice! Keep doing your thing Zack.
Thanks!
So awesome with the donation 👏 my man zack
That first song by 2 chains is actually the song on my intro for this fighting competition channel, sickest compilations
What’s up zack going to this game on Saturday. Gonna be a blast first baseball game, hopefully get a ball!
That is very nice of you.
"please keep objects off railing"
yankees fans: put beer, gloves, oreos, pizza on it
And a Zack Hample autographed ball.
Very nice video Zack! Like it!
Thanks for watching.
@@zackhample Your welcome! :)
I don’t understand all the hate you get. I love that you get to live your best life and show us what you do at these games.
Thanks, I appreciate that.
hire that intern i love him and we need him in more videos like if you agree
He's great!
Where'd you get the A's cap? It looks good 👍👍.
My buddy George in Oakland gave it to me.
@@zackhample Good work, George 👍 💯.
Thanks again for being so nice
Thanks for noticing. :)
The A’s might be the worst team in baseball but sure are the nicest.
I love Zack Hample
And I love the ever-reliable John Cole.
Another great video in the books
hey zack that was me that gave you one baseball and also max
Hey!
Great home run catch the other day!
Thanks!
Lmao the Yankees don’t even bother warming up against the athletics 😂😂
Ha! Ouch.
You and Santa seem to make kids happy. Think I'll refer to you as "Santa Zack."
Haha, okay then! (But I'm real.)
I want to pledge, but I'm confused about the process. Is the amount donated taken at the end of the season when the total is known or is it just automatically deducted based on the assumption you'll catch 300 balls? I went to pledge but it's already trying to charge me when the amount isn't known yet.
It will be totaled after my final number is known. Sorry for the confusion and I really appreciate your willingness to donate.
The Philly captain better take notes. The kids love him. He never tramples them around. He always respects their space. Well most of the time. But I don't want to hear no more hate from that guy about Zack. It will make him look just as bad.
I cant stop looking at that giant A's logo
Zack I have been watching since I was young man I want to meet you at Kaufman
That’s awesome 👏 🎉🎉
You’re the best Zack! 😊😊😊😊
You're correct. :p
Let'ssss goooooo another Great vid By the GOAT'''''''''''' This Vid Waz 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Hey Zack any thoughts on the 700 attendance the Oakland Coliseum and soon will be abandoned once they move to Las Vegas but great vlog though 👍🏻
I know Zack is a legend, but good for him to see Lil kids still loosin their shit spotting him! 🤣👽
Haha, I'm hyperaware of my surroundings.
Monster day
Damn it’s crazy it’s still jacket weather there. Here in northern Cali it’s 93degees F already 😂
I'm envious. I hate the cold.
Hey Zach, hope you're having a great day. You saw the news that Oakland A's are moving to Vegas?
Zack will you be at Fenway park in June? Me and my family are going for the first time, the Red Sox are my favorite team.
Unlikely but hope you have fun.
@@zackhample oh ok, thank you
Hey zack, are you going to go to the seconed week of June Mets vs Braves game? I’ll be there!
Which stadium? Probably not but have fun.
Braves staduim
I love your videos
Zack you should have gained your World Guinness Record
Certificate by now. 🙂
Great job Zack! Does anybody know the song that played from 4:56 to 5:53.
Thanks but I'm not sure about the music.
@@zackhample I found out the song is called Cupid from a new South Korean group Fifty Fifty. They seem to play it before every game at YS.
Look at me, Zack is the captain now
Tuesday October 17th, 2023⚾️
I only have 5 baseballs. 1 baseball was caught at a Charlotte Knights Baseball game on Thursday July 23rd, 2015 while the other 4(1 on June 1st, 2023, 3 on September 12th, 2023) were bought at the Charlotte Knights store by Truist Field. My local Academy Sports and Outdoors and Walmart in Concord sell baseballs like the ones they use in the game, but they are more "whiter". I plan to get another baseball for Christmas and I plan to buy another Baseball the day after my birthday(03/08/2024), bringing my total to 7.
how many balls do teams tend to bring on a road trip?
Awsome video keep up the awsome work
Thanks!
The smile on the kids faces when you give them a ball is priceless! Keep doing what you’re doing!
One for every Yankees World Series win
Hey Zack! How do you feel about the A's moving to Las Vegas? Q&A
Love your vids
Thanks for watching.
Question, do you know who usually bats second to last in the final round of Yankees BP? My dad wants to know because he caught a home run on the fly today
I have no idea. This could change from day to day. Usually the non-starters hit in the final group.
