My name is Zack Hample. Thanks for checking out my website. I designed it myself. I'm responsible for all the content. And I refuse to write a stuffy-ass bio in the third person and pretend that it came from my publisher.

That said, I've written three books. The first was called How to Snag Major League Baseballs. The second was called Watching Baseball Smarter. And the third one, titled The Baseball, came out in March 2011. (It's really good. You should get it.)

Even though I often do things that have nothing to do with sports, most people know me as That Guy who collects baseballs. That's because I've snagged more than 6,700 of them at 50 different major league stadiums since 1990, and I've been interviewed about it quite a bit.

If you have a few minutes to spare, read this article about me and take a look at my TV reel below. It'll give you a better idea of who I am -- at least when it comes to baseball -- as will the rest of this site.
