    Sir Zack Hample, your enthusiasm for baseball is highly contagious. I've known you since I was a kid when I read your book. I'm 28 now and it's so cool seeing you on RUclips now. You spread alot of joy in a time when the world desperately needs it.
    Cheers mate, hope I get to run into u at Kauffman some day!

    Awesome that you got a ball from Willie! I had the honor of umpiring a Cardinals Fantasy Camp a few years ago where Willie was coaching, and during a rain delay, he spent over 30 minutes in the third base dugout talking with me and my umpire partner about his career and what it was like for him coming up through MLB and the Cardinals organization. He is just as nice and welcoming off camera as he is on camera. A genuine dude. One of my all-time favorite players for both his talent and his humility.

    Hey Zack. Always a joy to watch one of your videos. I have a unique story to tell, too.
    I am disabled - born without arms - so I learned to do everything in my life w/ my feet. Before retirement, I worked as an educational TV producer for the US Dept. of Agriculture. Now I am a motivational speaker for all audiences - kids thru adults - to share my unique story. My school assembly "No Hands - No Arms - No Problem!" teaches kids that it's okay to be different. And during my corporate presentation, I try to inspire audiences to turn obstacles into opportunities, challenges into championships, and to make the impossible possible.
    Back in 2008, the Padres saw a video of my school assembly and invited me to throw out a ceremonial first pitch - with my feet. The success and media coverage of that day gave birth to my "Pitch for Awareness National Tour". My goal is to throw the 1st pitch at all 30 MLB stadiums. I pitched at 24 stadiums to date - still six to go (Yankees, Phillies, Twins, Rockies, Angels, A's)
    The remaining teams have, unfortunately, declined my precious requests to pitch. And due to personal issues and Covid, my last pitch was seven years ago - 2015 in Atlanta.
    Now that I'm retired, I want to make one more push to complete all 30 stadiums. Do you have any contacts at any of these teams? I especially need some help with your local team - the Yankees.
    Any help you could provide would be priceless. I have never caught a fall ball or home run, but I have had the thrill of taking the field - all but one of my pitches was from the mound - and inspring audiences to know that anything is possible.
    Over the years the tour had extensive media coverage - featured on ESPN Sports Center and "First Take", NBC Nightly News, Inside Edition, and most recently on ABC's "To Tell The Truth"
    Check out my pitching website at www.pitchforawareness.org - see videos on my RUclips channel (tfeet) - and learn more about my speaking career at www.tomsfeet.com.
    Keep up the great work. See you at the ball park.

Blowpen just doesn't want to win, I guess. May start going to more games that doesn't involve the Angels where I don't care who wins. Looking Forward to your Yankees Vs Angels videos.

    Hey zack in The beginning of the video showing the old man grabbing the ball in the bushy grass section, you said you were gonna talk about it. Unless I missed it, I never heard you bring it up. I was curious about that section.

    solid video as always, definitely a ball park I want to check out.
    I'm going to a Jays game in a few weeks and if they do BP I'll be there what's the best way to figure out if there are more lefties or righties in a group ?

      @@TJWatt-eh7fp Yes, he was! That's why I'm saying I must have just missed him somewhere along the line. I never ran into him.
