Well THAT was easy! I got my 12,000th baseball autographed at Truist Park

- It took me SIX YEARS to get Joc Pederson to sign my 9,000th baseball, but it only took ONE DAY for me to track down Colorado Rockies pitcher José Ureña. And guess what? It'll only take you ONE CLICK to save money on tickets . . .

As for Ureña, he had tossed this milestone ball to me the night before, so of course I brought it with me to this game. I was so determined to get it signed that I sacrificed the final portion of batting practice in the outfield in order to camp out in foul territory and try to get his attention when he came off the field.
Batting practice, as it turned out, was a disaster for me. I got ZERO baseballs but thankfully found a way to get on the board later on, and then during the game, I sat in the exclusive Chophouse section in right field. Huge thanks to my friends Jess and Ben for hooking up the tickets there. Wanna see the two "Watch With Zack" videos that I've done with Ben? Here you go:
• Helping a 12-year-old ...
• These women got SOOOOO...
You know who else deserves a shoutout? Starting pitcher Spencer Strider who set an Atlanta Braves record for most strikeouts in one game.

This video was filmed on September 1, 2022 by "Fenway Chris" (@yonnernyc). Thanks for watching!

I was at this game and saw you. I caught one of the home run balls during BP. I also got a ball signed by Urena after you did.
Nice!
Fenway Chris yelling “Seat Geek! ” This is how you get a fat raise from the boss man…
Yep!😊
I think it’s so funny that he got 12000 from a Rockies player only a couple weeks after his problem with Coors and the Rockies staff
The universe is silly.
Smoke show at marker 10:43 lol. Also progressive field has something very similar in right field corner. Love it out there.
That's awesome!!! Congratulations Zack!!!
This was a great and very fun vid Zack, I was watching this game live (on TV) and saw a second of you. I'm a Rock's fan so.. Love it and thank you:) Congratulations on the 12K ball!!! Just awsome.
Glad you liked it and cool that you spotted me on the tele.
7:10 excellent music drop for that zoom!
That was crazy, right? Pure coincidence when I filmed that, tho I did notice when I was editing. Glad you noticed.
We love you Zack,you are another reason why I love baseball and why I’m trying to find you at games,especially trying to find you during batting practice at Minute maid park tonight😂❤
That's a really nice signature on the sweet spot and he put his number on it. Congrats on the milestone!
Thanks. Ureña is the man!
He’s a real one for that baseball!!!
:)
Real one?
Fenway Chris! He is THE MAN!!!
Thanks!!
Hey Zack a few weeks ago my friend took me to a Cardinals game we played the Braves. I got to see a walk of walk 😂 and it was my first ever game! I also got my first ball it was hit by Acuna or Wilson Contrares ( ik that bc the both wear a lot of yellow lol) it was in BP and it went to the wall and then Spencer Strider threw it up
Hey, very cool! Glad you finally snagged one.
@@zackhample thx so much
As a braves fan, Jose Urena is our greatest enemy, but seeing Zack Hample get his 12,000th ball doesn't make me unhappy. Congrats Zack! I love your channel!
Hey zack, it’s so awesome you got your 12000 ball at the state I was born in. The braves stadium is also really awesome. Keep up the great work man
Thank you! Glad to rep your home state. :)
Love your videos Zack. Always appreciate them
Thanks again for the picture!!! Love your videos bud!!! 🙏🏻
My pleasure and I'm glad to hear that.
Always great to get a milestone and also get it signed and it looked like it was a fun night in Atlanta! Atlanta is one of the parks I have wanted to go since the old Fulton County as I grew up watching Braves baseball on TBS! Always enjoy your videos, looking forward to seeing where else you end up this year and it is fun seeing you and Fenway Chris having fun!
Awww, Fulton Country! I made it there for one game ever at the end of the '92 season.
@@zackhample I wanted to ask you- did you ever get to Cleveland Stadium as I did before the Cleveland team moved to the new stadium in 1994?
It was nice meeting u at the gate we were behind you in line and I also made that catch that jumped over the guy to catch
Such great love and positivity..seat geek hooked me up for the Jays games and the rays..got great seats
Thanks and glad to hear that.
Quick Fact: The pitcher that signed his ball is the pitcher that nailed Acuna Jr when the pitcher was on the Marlins.
And on the sweet spot. Take notes Joc
Haha, right??
I find it extremely irritating that MLB players don’t automatically sign the sweet spot. In my past experiences, they only sign the sweet spot if you ask them. These guys have been around baseball for their whole lives. How do they not know standard ball signing customs?
@@generallukeproductions 99% of the time if a player is presented a ball with no other signatures that means the fan wants only that player to sign the ball, which would indicate he should sign the sweetspot. however there are a handful of players, like Joc, who won't do it even if asked. some are "contractually obligated" and others are just being dicks
Wow, that's like catching a ball every day for close to 33 years!!! 👏 ,🧢⚾ Congrats, Benji and Kat
Benji & Kat! Hiiiiiiiii!
I wish more of the ballparks had an organist
I can't wait till Freddie goes back to Atlanta.
Congrats On 12k baseballs Zack!
Hey zack congrats on 12k and getting that auto! any tips on the best stadium for autos
That organist is something else...
Congrats 🎉
Hey zack I just wanted to thank you I took some notes of your method of getting baseballs and today I got 6 baseballs from the marlin game so yeah thanks. Keep up the good vids 👍
Wow! Nicely done.
Thanks
Congrats!!!
Thanks, Evan.
Another good one... Thanks.. Its been like a TV show you wanna see next week's episode but lately it's been 2 a week... I know there's a Yankees coming but I can't figure out the last few parks Left haha maybee your goin to catch that Pujols hr...
Congrats Zack!!!
Thank you!
Another great video. Another great cameo by a Goat at heart... Michael Toglia. #NoGoatsNoGlory
Love your videos Zack!
Thanks for watching.
That's pretty cool you got him to sign that
No way ! That was me and my buddy Grant who caught the home run at 3:04!!!
My friend and I used your seat geek code for Seat Geek , appreciate it :p we’re going to a concert ha but yea tell Seat Geek your viewers deserve 15% lolz
I just went there with my dad in august! Such an awesome atmosphere
Great I bought a ticket to the Diamondbacks game for Saturday. Hope to see you there.😎
Congrats Zack!
Thanks, feels good.
Congrats on 12,000
Congratulations on 12,000
Thanks, Mateo!
Awesome video as always:)
You are a real one zack. I love Atlanta and I love the braves.
NOICE!! Keep crushing it Z! Thanks to SEAT GEEK for sponsoring!
Big thanks to them!
Spencer Strider has been doing great. Hard to believe I played against him in high school
Gr8 stuff MrHample⚾️
When it comes to your ball hawking career. Have you discovered any advantages to gett balls in day games over night games?? Or perhaps vice versa?
ironically Jose Urena because he was the pitcher that hit Ronald Acuna On the first pitch
@fenwaychris I hope you know how much all of us appreciate your smooth camera work! It really makes watching the videos so much better! You sit there an hold the camera all game an that can’t be easy! Thanks from all us man! I will 100% be buying you a beer your next fenway trip! #teamfenwaychris #Hedontmiss #fenwaychrisforvicepresident
Aww, you're swell. I'll make sure he sees this.
@@zackhample Chris seems like a ready good camera man btw! Plus he has hook ups at Fenway! You couldn’t have chose a better guy!
I’ll be at Fenway Sept 26th. Hope to see you there!
@@FenwayChris I will 100% be there an I will 100% have beers!!
Savanna Banana’s would be fun to watch. Waiting on that video. I bet it was a blast! Thanks for the entertainment.
Today, on a very special episode of the Fenway Chris show it's Chris's 12,000th Bud Light...just kidding.😁
HAHAHA YES
Ha!
That was at age 17.
@@FenwayChris An overachiever if there ever was one.
Zack Hample amazing video
Bennett trying to not look at the Camera 😂😂😂
Love your content
👊
Such a well designed stadium inside and out
I agree!
You should definitely do a showcase video with every thousandth baseball you’ve gotten signed
Zack Hample you’re the best Baseball You Tuber ever and the coolest one ever
That's really nice of you to say. Thank you.
@@zackhample you’re welcome
Zack your really hitting-’em outta da ballparks right on the sweet spot this season with your uplifting videos.
If MLB doesn’t offer you a contract next year for a MLB Ambassadorship that’ll be their loss. Can’t wait for Banana Ball! 🤙
Zack*
@@aidanfinkofficial Tanks! 🙄
I like how you shook your head while Charlie Blackmon was taking BP, like “why won’t he hit one out here?” - us Rockies fans have been wondering the same basic thing for a couple weeks now. Bud Black keeps insisting on putting him in the cleanup spot the past month, and Chuck is not a cleanup hitter, and hasn’t looked comfortable since. He was an elite lead off guy most of his career.
14:10 Is that a shot of how many beers Fenway Chris chugged? Lmao
Partial count.
Great job zack
How would you approach getting that ball signed if he wasn't on the field for BP? Would that change your schedule a bit?
I probably would have lurked near the dugout until he poked his head out.
Thomas is the man! I’ve gotten to know him this season. Great guy and glad he could hook u up!
Are you going to the MLB London for both games, I might try for tickets- hope to see you there
Congrats Zack! Which of your books do you recommend. Wanted to buy one.
Thanks for asking. I'd go with “The Baseball.”
@@zackhample Ok. Thanks for the preference.
Zach have you been to the Rogers Centre this year yet?
I was there on September 12th but haven't yet started to even go through the video footage.
Hey Zack
I have noticed you haven’t gone to petco park this year yet
I am going to the game October 1st and wanted to know when you would go
It’s padres vs white sox
zack is SUCH a W
:D
The real goat is here
I was at this game now I am really mad at my self because I was like 20 ft from you but just did not look back! I also so Fin way Chris getting a bud light with his big camera! Dang
Daaaaang.
Yea I also got 3 balls from that game
Dang it!
I don't care what people say. You are awesome Zack! Keep doing what you do. I'm 35 and I wish I had your job of chasing baseballs at 45. I did get a baseball from Alfonso Soriano back in 2013 at Wrigley field, so I guess just 12,002 more to reach you! lol lol!
Haha, thanks and you can do it!
love the vids keep it up i’ve gone to 6 games this year!
Thanks! Hope you make it to one or two more.
@@zackhample if the sox make it in the playoffs i’m going to a. couple of those
If Jim Kaat or Lou Whitaker or Ichiro etc do an autograph signing this off season you should definitely get some of the other balls in your collection signed. Commemorative or home run balls deserve autographs. Go catch one of the few remaining home runs Albert Pujols has left in him.
Dude looks like a cool guy.
He is!
he’s a W
Very cool. :p
Any plans on being at Braves Mets Oct 1? Would love to see the man...the myth...the legend
I would say it's unlikely. :(
Awesome video sir
Zack I love what you do ignore what people say they’re just jealous. Also what 4 stadiums have you not gone to? I know Toronto but I can’t think of the other 3
Thanks and SoCal.
Boy was i wrong. I was just trying to be helpful but good job Zack happy for you!
nice signature
Yes!
One day you and Fenway Chris should switch positions lol you record & he tries to catch baseballs 😂😂
Agreed!
you went from hating the rockies to one month later getting 12000 ball by a rockies player
Having a bad experience at the stadium doesn't mean I hate the players.
No way. I was in the chop house the day after this game😭
Nice 13k nexts
I seen you at Coors field get kicked out much love from Denver Colorado 🤗
I didn't get kicked out. I merely got bullied and harassed by the staff.
What’s your fav stadium right now?
Maybe Cincinnati? Or Fenway?
I wonder at what point we will start to see players competing to hand/toss you your milestone baseballs
Give me a few years. When all the new MLB players are "kids" who grew up watching my videos, things are gonna get pretty interesting.
hopefully never
Hi Zack and Fenway Chris it is me Frank in NH...
1. OH Hey Everybody from Atlanta. Zach with a Mission.
2. Zack I hear "Green Onions" and The Beatles "Hey Jude (Zack) You have no balls, don't let i get you down" Love the organ player best since John Kiley at Fenway.)
3. Congrats on getting 12,000 signed. Great determataion to get it.
4. "SEAT GEEK" - Hello Fenway Chris my RUclips Friend!
5. So would "The Cup" Trick work for the baseballs in the water? Not enough STRING? - Question for Ask Zack?
6. I would like to eat at "The Chop House" and have a meal and still watch the game.
7. That Starting pitcher Zack , Spencer Strider who set an Atlanta Braves record for most strikeouts in one game. Was incrediable performance. Could he be the next Roger Clemens?
Love the videos! How many of the 12k are from stadium employees, BP, or during game balls. Like to see the stats.
He has a detailed list on his website. Of every ball, all stats etc.
Thanks so much! Have you ever seen this page on my site: www.zackhample.com/lists
I’ve caught 7, better watch out Zack, I’m coming for you!!!!! Just kidding I probably won’t get 1,000 in my whole life
1:58 Family Guy theme in organ
Nobody does it like my man zack hample! The guy brings so much joy to peoples lives! Don’t ever stop doing what you do! #Teamhample #HeDontMiss #Zackhampleforpresident
Zack*
@@aidanfinkofficial as you can see I spelt it right up top! Thanks for the reminder though big guy
To the man who celebrated his birthday yesterday, another epic video!! Running out of time this season but hope to see you again soon.
Aww, thanks! Time is indeed slip-slip-slippin' away.
Zack you understand we can see your totals on your website before the video goes up right?
Yup. It's a bonus for people who know where to look -- or just DON'T look if you don't want the spoiler. :)
Have you even got some of the other milestones autoed
Yes, all but #3,000 (since I used the glove trick to get it) and #11,000 (because Francisco Liriano is hard to find).
Nice!
When are you coming to La?
why when stadiums have organist playing. feels so awesome. They just hit different then having music
I totally agree. Makes it easier to edit too. No need to worry about copyright violations.
it's wild cause zack always shouts out his friends at seat geek, but I never see them shouting out zack. kinda messed up... anyways, rays up!
We love you zack
