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!
Their hospitality makes me want to go and catch a game. As a Tigers fan, we don’t get many opportunities but hopefully we will play every team next year!
Hey Zack, Great job getting Willie McGee ball. Hello Fenway Chris - we need a "SEEK ZACK" App so you know where he is in the stadium.Hey Fenway Chris to you know the Red Sox are in California playing against OHHtanie. I do like Zack shirt tonight with TOPPS on it. So with all this Great camera work how about a Anhiser Bud Light Break for Fenway Chris.
Hey Zack, I appreciate your awesome videos. It brightens my day every single time you upload. Life is stressful after high school (I graduated last year) so whenever my favorite RUclipsr (AKA you) uploads, I feel that stress wash away. Keep up the great work, man!
i loved baseball as a kid but i got more into football/basketball as i got older but ever since i started watching your videos i’m obsessed w baseball again so for that thank you bro! keep doing your thing your energy is contagious!
That guy who was watching the St. Louis Blues game against the Avalanche is feeling a horrible feeling from when I’m watching this on Monday, June 13, 2022. 🤪🤪🤪🤣🤣🤣
Unreal access once again. So cool how close you were to the Cardinals dugout. Always love when you get these sick hookups. Hope to land a job one day where I can get you amazing access or something cool at a game.
Many things I like about this video. #1 the Cardinals hooking you up with those amazing seats. As a cardinal fan I always love to see that. #2 the awesome view you had #3 the commentary during batting practice. Very well done #4 I just used seat geek a couple of days ago with your promo code to get tickets to the Ray's vs Cardinals game tomorrow night. I don't see the Cardinals often since I live in Sarasota FL. But I'm glad I'll be able to see my team. #4 always appreciate you and the work you do. Keep killing Zach!
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.
Love the video Zack. As a life-long Cardinal fan, it's really cool to see the player interactions in the dugout. Just letting them do their thing with no commentary was great. They act just like my boys (13 & 15) do during their games lol.
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.

I'm about 30 seconds into this video and as a native St Louisan who is almost as old as you and was down there during BP in high school in the late 90s at old Busch catching Big Mac BP Homer's. I am offended by this early access! Just jealous, I only make it a few times a year now but I have gotten a few toss ups.
Shoutout to Fenway Chris for the amazing video work as always- outstanding job capturing everything as always. And congrats on the baseball from you hero, Chris.
Im jealous...was hoping to catch you while you were here lol...Im going to a double header at Busch Stadium Tuesday VS the Pirates....Hoping to catch a ball or two....Great stuff as always - You're the man!
At 08:12 young dude with baseball hat to the left of Zack realizes it’s Zack and tells his friend or brother ; hold my glove haha !! Ready for that picture and memory !!
My family has had season tickets to the Cardinals for my entire life and they have always been in the Left Feild Bleachers where you were grabbin all those homerun balls.
Yo zack I was the one the gray underamour hoodie walking up to and I hope u see this but this was my birthday they day this was recorded ty man you really made my day🙏
6:36 i would factor the % of games in a season too...since 2011 (excluding 2020) you average 101.4 games per season (or 101.8 since going full RUclipsr in '16), that's 62.3% (out of 162 regular season games)...you multiply that by the 1/15 (6.6%) ratio and you get 4.1% odds of meeting ZH, or roughly 1 every 25 games :)
Love the Topps Rookies shirt! Where'd you get it? Also, do you collect any baseball or other cards? Per usual, safe travels and thanks for the content my dude.
Were you at Citizens Bank park over the weekend? I was there Saturday on the 1st base side and I could of sworn I seen you lurking about in the outfield sections. If not, you missed a small homerun derby with the Phils and Angel's series. Is was crazy.
Awesome Stadium. Thinking about Going there and KC this year. Was also thinking about going to NY and Phili to see the Angels play but decided not to since they have been sucking as of late with 11 straight losses and 3 sweeps. 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.
Passed the stadium on day one of the series on the way down to Texas from Milwaukee. My wife, a Brewers season seat holder, commented that it was weird driving past a stadium that would have a game with her Brewers in it and not stop to catch a game. Looks like you had a great time at Busch. The Cardinals really took care of you.
Zack I'm a big fan of baseball and you the amount of baseball you have is awesome I told my mom we need to go like an 1hr or 2hr just to go to batting practice food luck zack
Zack great video and having early access is way cool. I watched you documentary over the weekend it was AWESOME. If anyone hasn't seen it your missing out on an awesome inside look into Zack and this channel. I also sent you an email hope if you get time you could read it. Thanks Zack.
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 ?

Every team will play every team next year and beyond
@@madc2004 I’d be fine with even playing only 1 every year, alternating which stadium the teams play at.
Everyone is welcome in the Cardinals family even for just one game. I basically grew up in this stadium!
14:02 - Blows my mind how close you were to the legendary Willie McGee!!!
I was at the brewers series at the end of may and the legend Willie signed my hat. I reached into the dugout and he grabbed it and signed it lol
So smart of the Cards to be working with you. Smart promotion for very little cost.
I agree and they were really cool.
@@zackhampleMy favorite team is the cardinals this is very cool to see I also love your videos 😃

At 8:13, you can see the look on a fan’s face change when he realizes Zack Hample is there. It’s hilarious and wonderful.

@@MrMatc I'm not actually going to college. I work full time
The league should do a better job in fan interactions and make every stadium be open for ALL FANS for ALL batting practices
I would love it but as someone who has early access to Bp it would be very chaotic
Thank you for all the complements to St. louis, I love seeing you go to Busch Stadium!
i loved baseball as a kid but i got more into football/basketball as i got older but ever since i started watching your videos i’m obsessed w baseball again so for that thank you bro! keep doing your thing your energy is contagious!
I was at 2 of the games in this series. I wish I would’ve known you were there. I would’ve loved to meet ya!
Everyone like this comment so we can make them met

Willie McGee is the man. he tossed me a ball at the old busch stadium in the mid 90s when I was a kid.

When you get to Milwaukee this season, 1st plz let me know when (I work there) 2nd plz get an updated hat NO OLD LOGO!😂😂
Love when my Brewers get some time on your channel! Good stuff!
Thank you for coming by Zack! Love the content and hope to see us back at busch anytime!
Thanks!

Finally Zack got a chance to catch balls during the players’s batting practice. Keep up with the great videos !!!
The grassy area over the centerfield fence is often called Freese’s Lawn. From 2011 WS Game 6 Walk Off.
Thanks Zack, great vid! Must take some real skill. Congrats on 100!

Hey zack great video keep up the great work
Thanks!
This video is awesome but as a cards fan it’s even better! I always enjoy watching your videos!
That looked like an Aussie Rules Football that was being kicked around at the start
Fenway Chris is so funny!

Love seeing you at the beautiful Busch stadium in STL 🙌🏽❤️ hope you enjoyed our hospitality
Sure did!
Albert is such a class act. I hope he gets to 700+ HR' s.
I enjoy your videos and would love to have that Jackson Holliday baseball. Maybe we can catch home run balls at a reds game this year.
Anheuser-Busch made the tickets I hooked you up with a few years ago go to shame, Great Video!!!
I love seeing these cardinals. Fun team
13:58 is hilarious. My man operating a camera and watching hockey at the same time
I'm glad your a cardinal fan, Zack!!! Me and my family are cardinal fans to!!!

That grass bed is an iconic part of STL sports.
It’s crazy how we worship these players. I would love to have that seat at Busch to see my favorite players like that.
As a Yankee fan, I must say, that is a really cool stadium and atmosphere.
Brews vs Cards is a good matchup to see. Potentially a playoff pairing
Hi Zack can you go to the Tropicana Field in St Petersburg? fore the Tampa Bay Rays
Zach I saw you at the game. I love your videos and keep up the great content.
I just seen you at Kaufmann tonight in LF by the fountains. Lol
Man, as a cardinals fan these dugout seats with all the players is really cool to see

That’s great 😃. I am happy you are doing so well.
