You're an idiot if you DON'T catch a foul ball at this stadium

- Obviously I'm talking about the Oakland Coliseum. I mean, come ON. This place is empty, and there's a nice walkway at the front of the 2nd deck behind home plate, which is the perfect height and distance from the batter. Tons of space and no competition? That's a winning combo, my friends! And when you DO catch a foul ball, ask the ushers (if they don't ask you first) to fill out a "Foul Ball Club" card. That's a fun quirk in this ultra-quirky MLB stadium.
This game took place on September 20, 2023, and as I mentioned at the start, this is a brand new video on my channel. I saved it as a "winter release," so that's why I'm posting it in February. The Athletics were facing the Seattle Mariners, which means that Julio Rodriguez was in the house. I also got to see A's starter Joey Estes make is MLB debut, so that was cool too.
Shoutout to A's bullpen catcher Dustin Hughes (@dhog91 on Insta) for being great as always, taking some time to chat, and hooking me up with a baseball. Too bad he's forced to drink a garbage beverage out in the bullpen, though.
This video was filmed and edited by Rachel Messbauer. Thanks to her for doing a great job and thanks to YOU for watching. Get ready for a different kinda video coming next . . .

The vendor in the background yelling 'warm beer!' 🤣
Hey Z love the vids! Thanks for off-season posts! HERE WE COME 2024 season!!!
Let's goooooo!
The Rosie O Donnell Show is posting all their episodes on RUclips and today's episode has you as the guest announcer from 1999!
Glad to see you followed your passion! Grand slam in my book!! ⚾❤
You signed my sweatshirt at a yankees game last year. Derek Jeter also signed it, so know I have a sweatshirt signed by only you and Derek Jeter.
DAMN THATS COOL
Dang the values way down because of that
no.1 asked😂
@@anonymoususer9963someones mad they couldn’t get jeters auto 😂😂😂
@@liamryan1861 Yeah, Jeter ruined it.
I live in Florida but enjoy going to A's games when I can. Good views and cheap seats. And typically always go when there's a promo because it's guaranteed every fan gets the item with the att. numbers.
I was an Oakland A’s Spring Training game in AZ, Moved to AZ from Massachusetts, had full sox apparel, jersey, shirt, hat. I was sitting second row on third base line, the A’s ball boy came over and said he’s a die hard sox fan and gave a game used ball. Absolutely loved it. Also probably helped I yelled “root root root for THE RED SOX” during take me out to the ballgame😂
What’s ur schedule looking like this year or do you just decide games on the fly
Love the videos keep up the good work all love❤
Great video, Zack! Shoutout to Dustin for drinking Dasani :) Looking forward to baseball season although it’s been a very disappointing offseason for my Red Sox making very few moves. I’ll be back into baseball mode soon with spring training starting soon and just the Super Bowl left to be played in the nfl season. Hopefully my team isn’t as bad as advertised.
BOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Love the sounds of a ball park in February!
Zack, I like to read your old blog entries on your website. Your 1995 California Angels/Cal Ripken Jr entry is the best! I remember Ripken Mania in August 1995, and he came to Oakland for a series before he broke the record and I got him to sign a ball for me. Such an extraordinary memory and reading about yours was equally compelling!
That's so cool! Glad you also got experience the CalCraze and thanks for reading the old entries.
Zack hample never disappoints
Hope this year is better than ever! Thanks Zack!
💪
I’m a big fan of your videos zack!! And I’m subscribed to your channel 😊
W upload as always, like these winter uploads..
Hi Zach! I’m a big fan! I’m kicking off the season by going to the Angels- O’s game on March 31st!
Zack cant wait for the season to get going. Hopefully u got lots of videos coming for this season!
There should be a bunch!
Zack, how long before the game at Target Feild do the gates open?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I haven't been there in two years, and the rules can always change. Check their website.
@@zackhample Thanks!
POG some winter time goodies
Love the vids Zack👍
Zack i purchased my opening day ticket sec. 83 row 10 seat 7 , I also purchased a Birdland Membership for the first time ever. I hope to see you at Camden Yards opening day March 28th, March 30th and 31st Angeles at Baltimore. Great Video Zack
Thanks and have fun but I'll be wrapping up my Asia trip then.
I'm going to Oakland April 1st-3rd to watch my Red Sox play the A's. I'm also seeing the Red Sox play the A's in Boston July 9th-11th for my birthday which is July 11th.
First of all, you're the guy. In this field of endeavor, you are absolutely the man and you are a face in Major League Baseball. This being said, is there any possible way to save the Oakland A's? There is so much that could be done in terms of community or even to do something outrageous ecologically speaking to keep the stadium going. It's just difficult to be a baseball fan these days because baseball seems to be doing everything possible to kill us off. Keep going Zach.
One slightly different thought though. The fact that nobody cares makes it kind of a sweet experience. AMSR. You can hear the balls hitting the gloves and coming off the bats. I'm sorry if we're not making any money at this but gosh, what a quiet pastoral game. I didn't even know we had such a thing.
@@PEBelarus Thanks but I reeeeeally have no idea how to save the A's at this point.
@@zackhample I had a crazy thought that we could combine a resurgence of ecology in the region combined with allowing the community to provide the talent for the A's. Maybe it's kind of like the Green Bay Packers, similar colors, in that they are publicly owned. This does not actually create a democratic ownership but, if the community was actually involved as opposed to being only passive to the whims of ownership, this is a vested interest and of course excitement. Let me know if you want to actually talk, Zack. I think we have a lot in common.
Great vid as always Z! With the Coliseum and places like Miller Park (it’ll always be Miller Park in my eyes) and Comerica, it must be hard to pick which is truly the best for foul balls! With that said, it’s gonna be super sad to see the Coliseum go. I’m hoping they do final season commemoratives for it since 2024 is its final season, however with how things are in Oakland it’s probably a slim chance.
True, I'm not sure if they will "celebrate" the departure.
Hey zack you going to any spring training games this season?
Zack glad u got to witness the A's historicly bad season in person!
Poor A's.
Hi Zack! Thank you for another winter video! I can’t believe how close we are to spring training!!!
You got it!
11 days
Zack hample I have a quick question are you going to the Padres fan fest if so I am going so I might see you there
I had a Kirby Puckett batting practice hr from Oakland, gave it to a kid at the park. I wonder if the kid still has it.
You should come to bush stadium this season
Hey Zack you going to make it Atlanta this upcoming season?
The stadium is not actually that bad it just needs a couple fixes and it would be great. But it still does well for great Zack hample vids
Just a couple???
@@zackhample where do you think the Athletics will be in 2025?
Another great video!
I got THREE toss-ups during batting practice and during the game at Oakland Coliseum this past May!
Nice!
I gotta say ive been to around 20 or so A’s games and every time i sat in those sections ive became very very close on getting foul balls multiple, in one game too but never actually got one though he is right on the best chance to get a foul ball in the MLB has to be the coliseum
Can’t wait for baseball to start again, gonna be a fun year that’s for sure
i like the video very much Zack well done
Q&A soon? Also you gotta do another ASMR this year since it’s been since 2020. I came up with some triggers a while ago and can pass over those ideas and any others I come up with.
Maybe this month for a Q&A.
Zack are you going to any spring training games??
Sucks to see this team leaving oakland in a few years. Great video!
Yo Zack, do you know the earliest you can arrive at Ed smith stadium? Me and my buddy got tickets there.
I been to that stadium before it's great
Hey Zack 👋 Quick question: how do you feel about Richard Bleier now being with my Nats? 🥳
I feel great! And I hope he has a tremendous spring to get things going.
3 Stadiums in One Day Challenge: April 3, 2024 = Twins at Brewers (12:10 P.M.) + Braves at White Sox (1:10 P.M.) + Rockies at Cubs (6:40 P.M.), a helpful tip is if you leave from the Milwaukee Downtown Amtrak station there is an Amtrak train that leaves at 1:05 P.M. and you arrive to Chicago Union Station at 2:34 P.M. (that way you avoid traffic), from there take a taxi to Guaranteed Rate Field (Total Distance from Chicago Union Station to Guaranteed Rate Field is 4.3 Miles), Good luck you got this!
Zack hample my favorite baseball youtuber
I went in september when the Twins playing the A's, "Let's go Twins!!". Got to catch 3 foul balls (2 given away to kids and a twins fan-adult (they need love too ) ) and the warm-up ball of Pablo Lopez (now need his signiture on it).
Nicely done!
Good night from Taiwan Zack, happy to see your new video can't wait to show kids tomorrow morning.
Hello, Taiwan!
Amazing how few people go to this stadium. Another reminder for us to get up there for this last season of ballhawking and games!! Great to see another off season upload!!
That’s because John Fisher ruined the team
Trucks left for Jupiter Monday, I am so excited. Cardinals baseball is right around the corner
What park do you want to go to first this year?
I love Zack hample
Love your videos! I went to my first mlb game this past summer and it is the coolest atmosphere ever!
When you realize you were at the game and Zack hamper was there I was at the same game but I don’t see Zack 😭😭😭
I would be very disappointed if that happened to me! 😅
Zach Hampel, may you please come to Atlanta for the first game and the 21st?
Home game
Who’s Zach Hampel?
damn have not watched this guy in awhile old age is geting to him
If I were at a game, and the guy wearing #45 (Oakland white jersey) pushed me (or a kid) to get a ball, not getting the ball would be the least of his worries. I've seen him in your other videos, too. Most people are lucky to get one baseball. Is it necessary to swear when you don't get one?
Hey zack, what do you do for a living? How do you get to travel so much?
Hey Zack when are you in Toronto this year?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Zack, can you just clarify for this new zeneration stat kids out there today, it's 'RBI's', not 'RBI'. Appreciated.
10:31 DAYNM YOU HEAR THAT SHAMACK
Zack Baseball is here can’t wait to see your new season. I’ll be at Steinbrenner Field to watch Yanks Vs Jays. #hanzdownsportsapproved
I am so excited for mlb to start back up
Zach the caribbean series is taking place in Miami, you must go and catch a ball at Marlins park.
These winter releases are always good !! We appreciate you ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻
It’s easy to catch foul balls as a 45 year old bald man who isn’t afraid to push a child out of the way for a baseball.
I want to go to a giants game with you, that would be so fun, I would pay for my own ticket and everything, I’m a huge giants fan and have a collection of a bunch of giants gamed used stuff but I would love to try to catch foul balls or home runs with you
Man I was really trying hard at the stadium and I almost didn't get it. But then I got one in the sixth inning. They were not being very generous at all. But that was against the White Sox.
Someone got hit by a pitch and it produced this sound? 10:31
That sounds horrible. 😳
Damn it im an idiot. I have been to Oakland Coliseum like 50 times and never caught a foul ball
Where are you headed for Opening Day?
2:00 just by that 1 frame i can already tell in the summer that entire place smells like burning plastic
I though for sure you were heading out to Seoul, SK for some foreign MLB opening day shenanigans. 😮💨But that never transpired, Zack.
How do you know when teams are using commemorative baseballs
Hi Zack! Hope you’re enjoying the offseason!
It's been great and I'm sad, as always, about it ending. My high-school self would be very confused and call Old Me an idiot.
Zack I’m going to a padres game the day after opening day and then a dodgers game are you going to be at those games
How do you make your own cup for the cup trick
Why is it so satisfying Zack catching baseballs? Great channel to watch if your bored.
great job
Hey Zack, you should show off your baseball card collection and add to it
Zack what is your first stadium going to be when the season starts?
South Korea
@@aidanfinkofficial If I manage to get tickets.
And are you going to any spring training games this year?
No but he’s going to South Korea.
Probably not. I'm in chill mode for as long as possible until it really counts.
What’s wrapped around the interior of the cup?
Duck tape just to make the hole of the cup a little smaller and add some texture.
Stephen vogt gave my 10 month old son the lineup card last year when he was standing with my gf near the bullpen. He just did it out of pure kindness and he created a memory for me and my son I’ll never forget
You should go to a Braves game this year
9:07 that’s me in the kelly green jersey standing up, next to my grandpa. I’ve been waiting for this upload for a while 😅
I was at this game! Very possibly, my last A's game ever. Sad.
:(
they hv 2 seaons letf there can A s,move in w giants? two team stadium@@zackhample
really seems like that "foul ball club" thing, assuming it's something you give back to the team, is a way for them to have you put in writing that you didn't get hurt, and thus avoid a lawsuit. hence, the questions about medical attention. it actually seems kinda awful.
An idiot ? I’d rather enjoy the game comfortably sitting with one ear bud listening to the radio broadcast instead of running around trying to get a ball. But hey that’s just me. I’m an idiot.
Zack it was birthday when you went to this game🎉😂
You also met my second cousin Stephen vogt
Oakland is dead-ass one of the special and bueno teams boss they used to be bad. ❤
im 60 years old and love videos from minnesota
Surpised you ain't in a spring training ballpark right now in FL or AZ, wacky zacky,
Nice tip…⚾️🤣
Hey Zack are you going to opening day for the Mets
Nope. I hate big crowds, and that place in particular can be awfully stressful for me.
What's the start of your season look like?
Other then the trop their is no other stadium this empty
How'd you get a ticket stub? Mlb stopped doing that
you paY an xtra 2 $ AT SOME PARKS
winter upload from Oakland, Go As and remember to sell the team
