How lucky was THIS?! Snagging my 85th GAME HOME RUN at Great American Ball Park

- Shoutout to the guy in front of me who was NOT wearing a baseball glove! Meanwhile Luis Castillo was making his final start for the Cincinnati Reds, so shoutout to him for serving up this dinger to Miami Marlins catcher Nick Fortes.
This entire day was filled with action for me: finding baseballs in the seats at the start of batting practice, having a funny conversation with one of the coaches, getting hooked up yet again by Richard Bleier, getting an autograph my ticket, eating Skyline chili dogs, and then of course getting my hands on a home run ball. I wish I could've caught JJ Bleday's 1st career homer instead, but he hit it onto the netting above the Reds' bullpen, so I had no chance. (Not very nice of him, but I still wish him well.)
As I mentioned before the first pitch, I'm not planning to attend the Field of Dreams game this year, but if you want to check out my video there from last season, here's the link:

This video at Great American Ball Park (my new favorite stadium?!) was filmed on July 27, 2022 by "Fenway Chris" (@yonnernyc) and it was edited by Zac Gutherman (@zg_films). Thanks for watching!
I love how Fenway Chris is getting more and more involved in the videos.
He's fun.
Thanks Wayne!
Same I enjoy him in the videos
Hope to see them at Camden Yards at some point, would love to buy Chris an overpriced beer and would love to see Zack running around like a grown kid. Bucket list stuff.
@@zackhample pls come to the trop next
13:22 is when I was in the background of the video! I was the kid with the glove waving my hands in the air 😂. Thanks Zack Hample for getting a picture with me and my friend when we were there because that made my day!
You are very very welcome! Glad you were there.
@@um8440 Nice punctuation bud
@@um8440 Wow imagine going into someone’s thank you comment and trying to sabotage it. Baseball is far from dead. Maybe during the lockout it started to die out but now baseball is as popular as it always has been. Zack will always keep on doing videos no matter how much people hate it because he knows others will like it.
That is about the funniest thing I have seen in a while. Good job, you did something amazing ... you made someone laugh!
@@zackhample
Is the best
OUTSTANDING! 🍾 Congrats Z!!!! Thanks to you and Chris for keeping the hits coming!
Thank YOU for watching and maybe/hopefully see you next month.
I second this!
Go Mariners! Thank you for Castillo Cincinnati!
You are gonna make me cry
The day always gets better when Zack uploads.. thanks brotha 💯😎. Never CHANGE
:)
what an amazing RUclips channel.. This is what it's all about for me. bring back my childhood!
Fenway Chris deserves a pay raise with all of your antics!! 😂😂I guess he did steal that ball from you mid video, so you guys are even.
Caleb‘s the goat. The video of him and Jonathan India at the Bengals game really shows that Cincinnati is The best sports city and has the kindest players
Took my son and his friend to our first MLB game today in Cincinnati. Beautiful stadium. Had a few fouls get close but we left without baseballs. Snagging the number you have is impressive.
the GOAT caleb in the cut
Smoking series! Your on a roll this season and once again, thanks for all your hard work bringing us stuck in the mud senior’s a little taste of the different stadiums in the good old USA!
Aww, thanks!
I like the video so much Zack so awesome and congrats for getting your 85th baseball
Zach, i loveeeee your videos so keep up the great work. Baseball ROCKS!
I just wanted to say thank you for your channel. Hopefully we can get people interested in baseball again. It looks like it. Keep up the good work Z
Sup Zack love the content you do! You make my day better. Keep grinding!
Hey Zack, Love your videos keep up the great work!
Thanks so much, Connor!
I watch and rewatch your vids everyday I think it’s your smile and how fun you have
Oh, man... wish we would have known you are in Cincinnati. My son loves your YT channel and is a BIG Reds fan.
Hey Zack! i just saw you at Comerica Park last night, so cool to finally meet you. Great video as always!
Thanks! Glad you found me.
"Please act normal today". Fenway Chris....have you not been watching? This is Zack acting normal! HA!!
You're right!
Nice catch over the wall!! I saw Chris's count.....Is he trying to turn things around? Tell Chris to shoot for 77, that will get him 8 more!
Nice to see my man Caleb in the vid! Always meet him after the game trying to get autos together!
Hi 🎉
He's a good dude.
@@zackhample yeah, me and him have got some good autographs in the past.
@@zackhample did he show you the home run ball from Tyler Naquin that he got that series?
@@Leninade-ze7pd there’s a picture on my instagram of me and Zack with the ball. Got to shove it in his face a bit after he robbed me in this game haha
Watching a Zach Hampel video I get to smile from beginning to the end. Thanks Zach. 😊
Zack Hample*
Glad to see Castillo in Seattle now. Go M’s!
I like your videos they have been pretty helpful. Hopefully someone from MLB sees them and starts to help you out. My son just started liking baseball so i got on here to look up stadiums and found you ! I have been watching and learning about the different stadiums me and my son will be visiting in the future directly because of these videos ! Thank you !
Thanks so much! MLB is aware of me and works with me on occasion but for the most part they leave me alone. Good luck to you and your son in your travels.
fenway chris is a goat congrats on 85th home run sir
Thanks!
🐐
How am I just finding you!? This is amazing. Shoutout to David Lally for showing me the channel
Hey Zack. Are you going to be back in Iowa this week for the Field Of Dreams game like last year?
Love your videos Zach you're a true baseball fan and you have so much fun
Hi zack! I met you in kanses city and I just want to say thank you for being such an awesome person!
You're such a numbers guy. Great video.
100 game home runs may come sooner than later despite your slow start this year to get on the board for game home runs. Hopefully in the next few years. I wanna be there for it… but who knows when it will happen. I’m so glad I got to see you catch not just one, but two game home runs in person in my life (and both in the same night during the postseason.) Still one of the greatest nights of my life and I think about it all the time. Everything about that night was magical.
Aww, thanks! Glad it still stands out for you. If things go well, I'll reach 100 by the end of 2024.
Hey zack thanks for taking a pic and giving me an autograph at the tigers game yesterday. Made my night
I like your profile pic
GO RED LEGS!
It doesn't happen s lot but whenever the Lions or tigers play in Cincinnati I always make a trip or 2 to skyline, I love that place.
When I saw the thumbnail I clicked on it so quick! Awesome video Zack! :D
Impressive home run ball stats on your website. 😎👍🏻
Zack I was at city field yesterday and today and got a shirt they are so cool ! Zack keep up the great content let’s Go Mets
Awesome!
Zack great vid as always!
:)
⚾ Yeah Zack don't act normal ⚾
We love you ABNORMAL
Haha, never!
Too bad no field of dreams game this yr... What do you think about the uniforms? Thanks for the videos...
Another great video with another great haul. I was really surprised when you said you weren’t going to this year’s Field of Dreams game after the success last year, but as you said, you can’t be everywhere!! Keep up the good work
The success was putting out a great video. From a ballhawking standpoint, it sucked.
I love the videos Zack. Keep it up!
Thanks!
Hey Zack loving the videos! May I ask why didn’t you make it to the all star game and the hr derby this year?
Didn't feel like dealing with all that stress. It would've also cost a lot, but money is less important than my mental health.
@@zackhample bro your about as healthy and empathetic I’ve ever seen a public figure be it so refreshing and what an example for all these kids that look up to u. I can tell in how u move ur aware of this and I’m proud to be your subscriber. How can we make others more like you?!? Lol If u weren’t like that I don’t think I would of so quickly figured out why the video was bothering me at first. It’s ur genuine kindness and how I see u treat those that hate and love ur videos all the same. It made me do a inventory of why I felt how i felt and quickly came to terms with what was bringing my bitterness up. It’s beautiful the butterfly effect that branches out when we simply treat others, especially those who refuse this same courtesy to us, with the empathy we as humans all deserve. Bravo Zach!!!
just purchased the baseball from amazon, your story ab the drake baseball convinced me to buy it lol, hope i enjoy it
Hell yeah! Thanks for picking up a copy.
Love the videos Zack!
Thanks for watching.
8:46 If anybody doesn't know what this is, Dayton Dragons are the High A Affilate of the Reds.
Nice job Zack. I got a Yordan Alvarez homerun ball about two weeks ago at The Oakland Collesium
:o
Fenway Chris "please act normal today "
Zack at 5:24 proceeds to use the stadium seats as his own personal staircase .Too funny
:D
Hahaha! 😂
Congratulations on ranking up them numbers Mr Zack I'm being a huge fan of yours I love all the videos
Thank you, Adam!
Yes sir your very welcome
Again, such a great video. Making me so jealous we don't have any kind of baseball in the UK. Always be indebted to you for finding my joy in a sport I've had no real knowledge of growing up (obviously I knew of baseball, just never on my radar) If you come to the next UK for the next London series, you should attend a Cricket match. Not because you'd particularly enjoy it, or can ballhawk. But just as a comparison between the the 2 sports. 100 game HR's by 2026 🤞
I will consider it for sure, but not sure at this point that I will go to London next year. 2026? Oh yeah, I think I can make that happen.
You are so lucky to go to all of theis games
True.
Hey Zack just wanna know are you going to the dodgers vs royals game on August 12??? If so I will be looking forward to seeing you😀😀
Nope, have fun.
@@zackhample alright but this isn’t gonna stop me from not finding you at a MLB game🫡
INCREDIBLE!
12:13 yeah I love skyline I live right across the river
12:13 preach Zack preach. Skyline is so good
Hey Zack I am going to the A’s game tomorrow and would be awsome to see you there!!!
Nice work zack I don’t know how you do it! I hope to see you at a game one day
Thanks, Ryan. Someday . . .
Bro nice profile pic the Sox my fav team
Hey Zack i just want to say i Love your videos always puts a smile on my face.
Glad to hear that!
So happy we Mariners got Castillo
12:41 that's me with the MIT over my head
Is that Joey Vott… wait no even better!! Thats Zack Hample!!!!!
Hey Zach, do me a favor next video, go to the Mets stadium and try to see Eddie Diaz walkout it’s a big time experience
Lucky you Zack!! I wish I can get so many baseballs like you!
I'm gonna have to buy a day with u next year.. it would be so fun to spend a day at the park with u.. having hip replacement tomorrow so hopefully all be rocking the parks soon
Oh man, good luck with that and maybe we can make it happen when you're back in action.
I respect you for respecting and eating Skyline Chili. Lot of people knock it because it's popular to do, but I doubt too many have actually tried it considering it only exists in a few states. One of my favorite things about living in Reds country... Go Cubs tho
Edit - AS SOON as I commented this, I hear Fenway Chris with his "so disgusting" remark smh.
Is it good? I’ve heard of it before
Haha, Fenway Chris hates seeing people eat. I don't take it personally.
Yes, what Zack said. I’m not hating on skyline. I hate chili in general. I dislike watching people shove food in their face and chew like animals.
I need to meet you guys one of these days hopefully 🙏
I'm going to detroit August 11th. The game starts at 1. Do you think there will be batting practice at comerica park?
Unlikely.
Two seconds in:
Fenway Chris: "Alright forreal let's go!" *a few seconds later* "can you please act normal today?"
Me: "Fenway Chris, we both know that's NOT going to happen!" 😅
Great vid as always Zack! 👍😎
Haha, nope!
I feel like a babysitter at times! 😉
@@FenwayChris Babysitter Chris!
Yo Zach I just went too Cincinnati the ballpark is the best I was wondering what hotel you stayed at ?
Zack thanks for letting me take a selfie with you at the Guardians game 2 days ago It made my day. I was the one in the blue Adidas shirt
You’re welcome. :)
Zack! How are you? When are you coming to Miami?!! I need to meet you at a game!
When do you plan on attending a few games at PNC Park again this year?
I don't. But seeing Albert close things out is tempting.
13:03 lol the guy in the backround
One question are you going to the field of dreams game?
Awesome video as always Zack! Off topic, but how about that series sweep of the Yankees by my hometown Cardinals! I know you're not as excited about this as I am Zack. Lol. I was at the games Friday and yesterday (Saturday). I believe this was a preview of the World Series this October, and the Cards proved that they can hang with, and beat the Yankees! What a great weekend of baseball here in STL!
Thanks and guess what? I'm probably more excited about it than you are.
He is the best
any chance you'll be in Milwaukee for the Dodgers series?
Another banger video!!!!
I was at that game too! I nearly got a foul ball in the first inning on the first base side. Missed me by a couple rows. Do you have any tips on the best ways to get baseballs at the game?
Hey Zack! I met with some Staten Island pitchers, and they are nice, connor was prob my favorite.
Hey, Zack! When are you coming to Chase feild?
You should go to the brewer at Dodgers game on Tuesday the 15th
How do you get into the reds ball park so early to see the reds batting practice you have to be a season ticket holder I thought
Wish I could go to so many games.
What’s up Zack, you should try going to the Dodgers at Royals Friday the 12 this week, I really want to meet you there cause you are the coolest fan for baseball and such a inspiration to me and many people. Hopefully your week is going good so far too.
Aww, thanks but I'll be flying home to NYC that day.l
@@zackhample Nice! Hope you have a good time in NYC.
You should go back to new york, I’m going to a mets game for the 1st time (my 1st baseball game ever that isn’t jays game) i think the one is friday
I love Zack Hample
I love John Cole.
These videos are addicting
Zach love you 😱
I love great American ballpark and the reds. This looks like a banger. Assuming we won't be getting a home run derby video this year?
Nope, Zack didn’t go.
Nope, I skipped L.A.
Did you ever catch a home run in Montreal? And what was that stadium like? Did you like the city? I would love a special video of your expo experience you had.
Check it! ruclips.net/video/oq7DrEGN6e8/видео.html
Great American Ball Park is such a great American ball park
Not watching another video until you give the Braves some love
See you in a month.
Fenway Chris definitely pissed me off with that Skyline Chili slander 😡
Zack you should try going to my home town Reno Nevada and go to greater Nevada Field a minor league baseball stadium you can get a lot of baseballs there
Maybe someday, Amanda.
Ok
Hey z, when is the home run derby going up
Hey when’s the trip to Toronto? Going August 26 and September 28!!
Probably some time in between.
@@zackhample Dang
Richard Bleier is the man. We were trying for his auto outside one of the Hotels (city redacted), he was running late and said, "yeah can one of you guys give me a ride to the ballpark." I offered him one, and he said, "oh forget it Uber is right around the corner, surprised it got here so fast."
What a legend.
Haha, amazing. He actually doesn't like signing at hotels, which I respect, but he's a GREAT signer at stadiums.
He signed everything for us didn’t mind at all
I saw you catch it live and I was like wait a minute that was zack hample
