FYI, this was filmed pre-COVID (as it says on the bottom of the screen in the first 10 seconds). That's why no one was wearing a face mask. Sorry for any confusion, but thanks for your concern. Also, while you're waiting for the full-length documentary to come out, you can watch the short version here: ruclips.net/video/ltO_Rr5cIhc/видео.html
The timing of the documentary and the HOF presentation could not of been better. Imagine the stress if this was cancelled due to Covid restrictions. //Those guys who recognized you at 2:36 finally got to meet you at 7:25.
Crazy I was just thinking today you belong in the Hall somehow. You deserve it man, the fans are just as important as the players. Your passion deserves a place there. It’s no accident you caught Trouts first HR.
This actually brought a tear to my eye. Good vibes all around in the video, people being nothin but friendly, go anywhere you please without worrying about distancing and such. Everything used to be so nice before this pandemic 😭
I went when I was 12 years old and played at Cooperstown Dream Park. Now I'm 26 and can't believe I didn't realize how awesome I had it. Miss it and hope to go back one day to relive the good memories.
I still remember 5 years ago when u were the first youtuber that actually replied to a comment. Little things like that keep people watching for a long time. Congrats on 500k
Zack, congratulations to you on this major achievement! You've come a long way. From starting your streak in 1993, to collecting many baseballs from every MLB stadium, including those no longer around; catching baseballs that were famous and being so kind to return them to the player; then having Topps cards make cards dedicated to you, and much more! Don't stop what you're doing! Keep going! You're gonna farther than you thought possible! 💯🤘
Hey Zack, at the 3:22 mark in the video, You’re standing by the film is a sign of where the films are being played. In the sign is also the movie “A League of their Own”. I always like bringing this up about this film is that film was actually filmed mostly in Southwest Indiana even though the teams we’re based out of the northern Illinois/Wisconsin area. I myself was very fortunate enough to play on both those fields in high school as I only went to high school just 30 minutes away from both fields. One of the fields belong to a Conference rival. The other field which is in Evansville, it is actually the third oldest professional ballpark in the US behind both Wrigley and Fenway.
I'd love to see you make a video answering some or all of those questions in this video; just a whole video about that. that would be great! thanks in advance if you do and great job; this is awesome! Even though I live in Miami I've been to Cooperstown 10 times and I even have a little bit of my writings in there in their library in the form of Fort Myers Miracle programs. I've also done a lot of research in their library as I am working on only the second known doctoral dissertation which revolves around Minor League Baseball but also involves Florida operations of Major League organizations.
Very cool! I'll think about it but for now I'm content with all the Q&A videos that I do -- 24 of them so far and probably another coming soon-ish. We'll see.
@@zackhample all good my man.... whatever you decide. thanks for getting back to me. Perhaps a whole video on that might indeed be overkill. I was getting a little carried away LOL. if it's covered in Q&A 25 that would more than suffice (no need to mention anything about my own Cooperstown connection. I definitely don't wanna make it about me; I'm far too shy and much prefer to mostly toil in anonymity.) ;) thanks again.... keep rockin!
Zack this was awesome man this is why I love the game of baseball and the baseball hall of fame itself the staff is so nice and everything inside in the hall of fame is amazing
This year I have covid19 in the hospital now but talking baseball and even my red sox is bringing me strength You do great work zak but I've told ya a bunch. Thanks man
I was glad to have made it out for the film festival and it was great to see the full length film and to meet you! Hope the full length film is released soon.
Hi Zack, Congrats on that awesome movie! I have been watching your videos for a while and I never miss one when it comes out. Also congratulations on hitting 500K!!!!!!!
Zack, great to see you at the HOF, and to learn about Zack Hample vs. The World! I enjoyed the 13 minute excerpt, and now really want to see the full length film.
So I just watched the 13 minute version on MLB's channel, I got a good laugh when after catching your 10,000th ball you said "Future Hall of Famer Robinson Cano" sad....
Bro I'm sorry I'm a year late i literally have been binge watching your channel since i start following you. But man look you got to be a bad ass to be a fan and have a film made for you you made it man. I love base ball from the smell of the gloves to the sound the bat and glove makes when the ball hits it. You just make it so fun to be a fan and to be apart of this channel and see how far it's grown. I wish you nothing but success and your fans love you man i hope i can br lucky enough to have a conversation or just to meet you would be a life changer. God bless you keep it up. Hope to get a shout out one day keep being a fantastic person and fan.
Just want to say that you inspired me to make the goal of going to every MLB stadium. Been to the NL Central and Garunteed Rate so far. Thank you for inspiring me and so many others
Hahaha at the man putting his phone on a curved and slippery looking stool. Am I the only one that finds that hilarious? Thanks for the great content, Zack, looking forward to more!
Hope to get to the Hall of Fame someday! Get finished reading Zack’s book “Watching Baseball Smarter.” A good refresher course on baseball. It was also very entertaining to read. But it was written before instant replay reviews by umpires were allowed. I have no nostalgia for the days when the announcers used to watch it from different angles and say the player was really out. I’m glad baseball got out of the dark ages and caught up with the other sports who have had the review for a long time!
Q&A part 25 Zack, what is the most money you have ever spent on a single game either for your tickets or for the entire trip? Big fan of you man and been a sub since around 60k :)
@@zackhample no worries brotha I completely understand and respect your opinion either way as to if you answer the question or not on a Q&A. Like I said man I’m just a big fan of you and just stoked you replied to my first comment! Thanks for giving me almost all my baseball knowledge I have today! :)
15:54 .. this display has been there on all my three visits, 1997, 2011, & 2016. I wonder why pitchers never figured out to always pitch Ted Williams low and inside.
@@zackhample Started scoring high school games back in 1983. Worked at a Div III college scoring games in 1986. Scored for a college league from 1985-97. Scored for the Cape Cod Baseball League back in 1987. (was the official scorer for the Cape League All star game at Fenway) Official scorer for the RI Tigersharks (Northeast League) in 1996 Was the official scorer for the Norwich Navigators (NYY-AA) from 2000-03. and Brockton Rox (Can-Am League) 2010-18 and worked through MLB with the York Revolution (Atlantic League) in 2019, So over 30 years, and only caught 3 balls in all those years. So you definitely have a better record then I do.
1:59 I hear a dog panting in the background. What kind of dog was that? Congrats on 500k subscribers such an amazing accomplishment can't wait till you reach 1 million!
This is a fun fact had met Zack when he had first arrived at Cooperstown in the back, snapped a selfie with him and it was a pleasure to meet you good sir! P.S. can not believe this was 2 years ago 😅
Man you’ll LOVE IT!!!! I went in 2019 and it was the time of my life!!! Savor EVERY MOMENT. And if your going to Dreams Park or All Star Village, trade pins

Thank YOU, Oscar.
What a story , about a passion , an American pastime with a twist . Zack made his own baseball history. Very very cool !!
:)
Love the Doc Graham in the research room. A great character from my personal favorite baseball movie of all time.
Really nice of that young lady to do the drawing of/for Zack, and she's very talented. Kudos
Mr. Hample, I’d like to see the full version. Please make it so. 😉

Hi Zack
Fan from England here, also, congrats man on 500k
Hey! Thanks for watching from afar.
Hey Zack you should film at the Louisville Slugger Factory and Museum at some point. I just went this past summer and loved it!
I hope to make it there t some point.

That was funny as hell. Thanks for watching and glad you liked it.
