Just your typical everyday geek who has a passion for ball hawking. With 200+ baseballs snagged at Minor League games over the last three years, that number, as well as my love for baseball, shows no sign of stopping. So sit back, relax, and join me on my quest to snag as many baseballs as possible!

Final game of 2024 season at PNC Field
Yes, I know, I’m devastated too. Probably more so than you, but I won’t make that claim. It’s going to be tough for me to say goodbye to such an amazing season in 2024 and go through 6 months without the thing that makes me happiest. Let’s hope that the offseason goes by fast!

I sat WHERE at PNC Field?!?!
Просмотров 2152 месяца назад
I have no words to describe how EXCITING this game was for me. I recently renewed my Railriders season tickets, and NOT ONLY did I get my seats in the Geisinger Champions Level, but being a STH ALSO means I get in EARLY FOR BP! That’s exactly what happened at this game, as well as every other I attended that same week! This video was filmed on 8/13/24. Edited by ME!!! Thanks for watching!
Snagging a game home run ball EXACTLY ONE YEAR AFTER I snagged another! (PLEASE READ PINNED COMMENT)
Просмотров 3533 месяца назад
You read that title right. Last year on July 5th, I walked out of PNC Field with an Andres Chaparro game home run ball. This year, I GOT ANOTHER! No, not from Chaparro. Who hit it? How’d I snag it? You’ll have to watch and find out. Apart from those details, both of those balls are EXTREMELY meaningful. Why? My grandmother’s birthday was the 4th of July, so snagging not one, BUT TWO home runs a...
STAND HERE if you want to snag a foul ball at Mirabito Stadium!
Просмотров 3633 месяца назад
There are some stadiums that have certain spots that just stand out than others. One of those being the patio along the 3rd base line at Mirabito Stadium. Three words to describe it? FOUL. BALL. HEAVEN. This game proves that perfectly! This video was filmed on 5/31/24 by my bestie Elsa! Thanks for watching!!!
Slow yet still fun day at PNC Field
Просмотров 954 месяца назад
The title is VERY self explanatory. Not only was this Memorial Day weekend where TONS of families travel, but it was also the Railriders 1st fireworks show of the year. This was my 3rd game in the same week, so I wasn’t going to complain. What went down? Did I keep my streak alive? You’ll just have to watch and find out. This video was filmed on 5/24/24. Thanks for watching!

Man, I’ve gotta be like a MAGNET to the Iron Pigs, everywhere I’m at, they’re there too! And y’know who else loves me? SCOTT KINGERY. If you know, you know. Anyways, as stated in the intro, I apologize for the long time between uploads. If you follow my Instagram (which if you don’t, is linked in my bio), you’ll understand why. But it’s here now! This video as filmed on 5/16/24 by ME!!! Thanks ...
1st road trip of 2024 at Coca Cola Park!
Просмотров 3116 месяцев назад
I honestly used to hate Coca Cola Park. The configuration isn’t the best, the staff is super strict, and it’s always packed. After this game, however, I can’t say the same! Super happy to have made my first road trip of the year a big one in Lehigh Valley. This video was filmed on 4/14/24. Thanks for watching!!!
2024 Ball Hawking Opening Day at PNC Field
Просмотров 2746 месяцев назад
At long last, the baseball season is finally underway! With that also comes the return of myself and ball hawking. So, how’d it go? Will my consecutive games streak of at least one baseball stay strong? If so, what was the total and how I got it? You’ll just have to watch and find out! (SPOILER ALERT) As promised, Everson Pereira is responsible for the 4th inning home run that I snagged. This v...
The Ball Hawk’s Type of “Easter Egg” (Happy Easter 2024!)
Просмотров 546 месяцев назад
For most, Easter eggs come filled with candy and goodies. For myself and fellow ball hawks, however, we hunt down a different kind of egg! Here’s a short compilation of some of the “Easter eggs” I got on camera from 2023. Happy Easter!!! Enjoy all the time with your friends and family.
Missing the EASIEST game home run EVER at PNC Field
Просмотров 11711 месяцев назад
That title couldn’t be more accurate, this was quite literally the easiest game home run I have ever had an opportunity on. What happened? Of course, I blew it. But it’s okay, we all have our moments, and spoiler alert, I may or may not have made up for it in the next video. This is a trial run to see how some offseason content does, so I hope you all enjoy! This video was filmed on 8/22/23. Th...
Snagging my FIRST commemorative baseball at Citizens Bank Park!
Просмотров 187Год назад
If I had to choose favorite games I’ve been to this year for a list, THIS would definitely be on it! This was my 2nd time attending the Phillies yearly “Wall of Fame Game”, the first of which on August 6th, 2021, was my first ever MLB game! Now as I said in the video, I was SUPPOSED to be in Miami. And trust me, I was there! The Marlins use commemorative 30th anniversary balls every Friday, how...
Turning a slow day right around at PNC Field!
Просмотров 103Год назад
Seemingly slow days have been a regular thing as of recent, but you know what they say, “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade!” That quote was very fitting for this game. Despite the high attendance, the opportunities were still high, and I made sure to take advantage of them! This video was filmed on 8/5/23. Thanks for watching!
Having a memorable first time at Camden Yards!
Просмотров 285Год назад
You can read about how beautiful places are and look at pictures online all you want, but you’ll never know what it’s truly like until you actually visit that place. Camden Yards is the SAME way. Despite the outfield wall being the way it is, the layout is very good for ball hawking, the staff and fans are friendly, and I seriously cannot recommend going there enough! This video was filmed on 7...
Seeing my first double-header of the season at PNC Field!
Просмотров 96Год назад
Okay, I know what you’re thinking, “double-header should mean extra big numbers!” Spoiler alert, THAT didn’t happen, but it’s alright. Got to relax a little bit and not worry too much about totals. What exactly went down? You’ll have to watch and see! This video was filmed on 7/22/23. Thanks for watching!

Great work your cousin
Love these man keep it up!
NOOOOOO!!!! Not the last one of the year!!! In 10 days I will likely be going through the same thing. But the good news? You've grown as a hawk and built more and more relationships (and deepened them) in 2024.
You had a tremendous season! I am so proud of you. Each day you set a goal and you set out to accomplish them. You generously give baseballs to any child who asks. Your passion and love for baseball is truly a gift. My greatest joy is watching you do what you love. Great season buddy, can't wait to whatch you next year. April 8 can't come fast enough.
Big day, nice seats, and definitely a precursor for adventures to come. Good luck today!!
@@BaseballRoadTripper thanks buddy! Sending that good luck right back for your SoCal trip!
Love these videos and the extensive recap you do for each game. Keep it up buddy!
Check out American Family Field home of the Milwaukee Brewers.
Great work! I love hearing names you got balls from that we did too! Oswald tossed Tristyn a ball at Polar Park! Keep up the great videos!
Oh seriously? Thats awesome! Thanks guys!
1:44 same with me, everyone undertoss me and it once cost me a ball
What glove is that?
@@TheLEGOStud77 that’s a custom I made from the company Gloveworks!
Taylor "Batting 1.000 for the Yankees" Trammell! I know you are making your grandma proud, her spirit (and all others who came before) live on through you and get passed on to others by your good deeds and happy encounters. Can't wait to see more adventures soon!
Realizing I made YET ANOTHER error. So let’s set some stuff straight real fast. The game home run in this video was my 14TH lifetime. 14. Not 12, not 15. 😅 I got confused with the one I recently snagged in Dunedin. THAT was my 15th, and THIS is that blog entry. aydentempesta.com/2024/07/16/7-14-24-at-td-ballpark/ Sorry for the confusion!
Love the international flags! No judgment on sweaty messes. Taylor ball becomes 12! And at the end…your commute looks like the Schuylkill expressway!
Taylor ball is actually 14! Idk where I got the 12 from 😂😅
You never cease to amaze me. Proud of you buddy. Love you!
@@loutempesta6204 Thanks Dad! Love you too!
I want a Kevin O’Shea feature.
@@Venom-ib4he I can make that happen 💯
Do NOT apologize. You owe us nothing, and we’ll always be here for you (and your videos if/when you decide to release them). Sweet jersey, cool seats, and plenty of baseballs! So nice to have company with you at the game, too.
Damn.. big fan. Got any tips on where to stand to catch em?
Sick as video! Happy Bday!
You did great for a busy "slow" day! hope there's a pay back dad video coming soon! 🤣
LOL! I’m secretly devising a plan as we speak…👀
We need to do a collab Super-Cut of all the First Pitches.
Officially have the first offseason video idea…
Good job, went to AA gane a few weeks ago and a toss up and a foul ball
Love you man good video
How did they know they had a celebrity birthday in the house?! Congrats on the first foul of the year.
Big up brother! That’s a sign from her for sure 🫡
Rest easy, grandma, 🙏
Hi
Woohoo! Congrats on the big snag! Oh, and your GOLDEN BIRTHDAY! You've started the season off so incredibly well.
Baseball is back! Great to see you did so well even with the crazy weather!
We. Are. BACK! Congrats on getting on the board. Sucks that they extended the nets.
I honestly expected it, they’ve been meaning to do it for years. I’m fortunate o got so much out of the old one 😂
Everyone’s favorite ball hawker is BACK!! #AGANG
Don’t…mind…if…I…do!
I feel like I've seen this before... ;) No player has ever gone 1.000 in fielding percentage, so neither will us hawks. Just means that you'll snag an even cooler ball down the road.
For sure, although I don’t think it can get much cooler than a grand slam on the fly, wait…that sounds familiar…🤣
Damn shame with that home run. But still good video, keep it up!
That game we were at...and we missed you! We weren't in ballhawk mode...more experience-the-place mode. 16. Keep going!
I seriously wish I would have known! No worries though, our paths will cross soon enough. And I don’t blame you for taking a day off from hawking, the festivities that game had guaranteed a fun time no matter what!
@@Ayden_Tempesta I don’t think we’re really hawked all year. Fewer games due to the job situation (which has changed, BTW…DM me on IG for deets).
Sick video Show! (It’s me beast btw)
Fire vid, love the content
Nicely done. Bummed I didn't get out there but glad you were able to capitalize and get one.
It definitely would have been a nice addition to finally meet you in person, but things happen! We’ll get something figured out! 😄
So cool to snag that ball! Great jiob! And did that dude ever find who he was looking to beat up before the first pitch? 😄
LOL! He did look very menacing, didn’t he 😂
@@Ayden_Tempesta he looked like someone stole his cheesesteak for sure!
I was wearing the judge jersey
I was one of the people that were at the game when frannchey hit that walk off single
Seven?! Nice. Will you maybe put out any sort of golf content, even if during the offseason? I'd like to see you ballhawk at a golf course, how many dozen easter eggs can you find in the woods and water?
LOL, definitely gonna see some course vlogs coming soon. As for golf hawking, I actually got in a bit of trouble last season with my coach because of that 😅😂
Ballhawking at a golf course? Like hiding just past the hole? If they overshoot grab it and run!!!! 🤣
Done that before. Especially when I was low on golf balls one time lol.
@@TedsBaseballVlogs That’s me a lot…LOL!
Nice haul! No first pitch? At least you got the last pitch! Fun times!!
That’s odd, the first pitch graphic didn’t appear? Oh well, it’s in there somewhere 😅
I rewatched and saw it this time. 🤪
Nice video bruh! Excellent views at the park.
Thanks Yost!!! 😊
That stadium might be next for me on our next east coast trip. looks pretty cool! Cool you sangged a few another park! :)
Thanks Brian! Always love visiting new ones. Don’t wanna spoil anything, but may or may not be visiting a new one in a few days! 😁
The one I've been waiting for. Looks nice and sweaty. Criminal that gate times are so short. Also, well done on capturing the first pitch. Glad you had a blast.
Sweaty it was…I didn’t know Baltimore would be that hot 🥵 and I made sure to perfect the first pitch!
Nice to take in a two-for-one. And nice new glove! Always good to have options.
Thanks Tony!!! So far I’m really liking it! I see now why Zack uses that size. Very controllable!
Cool glove! I donated too. Mario characters? I'm not "that age" but I'm never too cool for Mario charachters! 😂 I wonder why they put Red instead of Woo on the scoreboard... hmm. Slow days make the good days that much more exciting!!
This whole thing with Worcester has always confused me! Woo Sox? Red Sox? Why is Worcester spelled with an R? It was easier when they were in Pawtucket 😂. And agreed! I like the games where I can kick back and enjoy, then look forward to exciting action!
Only been to one single-admission doubleheader before. Padres-Cubs at Wrigley. It was 95. We nearly got heat stroke. (No the kid wasn’t born yet.) At least you got on the board for No. 1. Nice Hample story! And amazing sunset! As a 40-something, I’d be all about the 80s games! The kid? Hmmmm… You got on the board for both!
A relief getting on the board for both 😅. Always gotta keep that streak alive. Before this I had also only seen one double, last year. Put up 6 times the total of this one 😂
@@Ayden_Tempesta Just remember: Your experience of a game, and the joy you take from it, doesn’t need to be defined by whether you caught a ball. Nothing wrong with chasing baseballs at all! But remember, you can collect a million great memories on a day you hawk zero baseballs. And the memories will mean more.
The Mets game I was just at was a perfect example! Didn’t snag a single ball but still had tons of fun! The atmosphere of a packed stadium with the most passionate of fans is a memory of its own!
0:42 generous king
Always gotta spread the love!
Thats great that you leave some hidden for the kids! First Out? Lets shoot for First Walk next time. haha. Great job on the ball count again! ALWAYS have a pen in your bag. Cool collection! Keep it up :)
