Hi Zack! Me and my 10yo love your youtube channel! Yesterday Joe Singley (Reds) tossed my son 2 baseballs after a Padres game! My son took a page out of your book and gave one to another little boy who was waiting too! Just wanna say Thank you for showing sportsmanlike conduct each time you give fans balls that you catch! Although he would have loved to keep both balls he selflessly tossed it and made another little boy’s night! Thanks again Zack!

hi love to watch your youtube videos i am 9 year old from: will to: you


April 12, 2024

Hey Zack,
Thank you for helping me get through my days with you're videos! I watch them and they bring instant joy to my day, I'm a huge baseball fan and just the scenery you get of the game and the catches you make are astounding! You're honestly such a great guy and all the hate you get is nonsense. People say your greedy and you steal baseballs from kids but if they actually took the time to watch you're videos they'd know that majority of the time you do give the ball you caught to a kid in the crowd. Of course you're gonna keep the important ones because u worked hard to get those and I respect that! Keep being an amazing person and I hope you reach all you're goals! God bless you're soul Zack!
Sincerely,
Robert

Hey Zack!!!!

Thanks so much,

Hey Zack,

Im huge baseball and Yankees fan here from Scotland. I recently came across your channel and I’m loving the content. That video where Trout remembered you and gave you that bat… wow! You really have had some incredible interactions with players and fans.

I love how you always try to include the younger fans too… huge respect for that

Your collection of baseballs must be unrivalled!

I’m a bit of a collector myself but baseball cards and I’ve started trying to get some game used merch. Massive Gleyber Torres fan. I don’t get over to many games as it’s so expensive but my first game was in 2018 and Gleyber hit a HR so he quickly became my guy.

Hello Zack,

I am 12 years old and live in Boston. I wanted to let you know how much kids like me look up to you as an idol. You have inspired thousands of kids like me to play baseball and go to games.

I have a career total of 7 balls and one autographed one from Alex Cora. I have many more signed cards though. I really like your videos and have always wanted to bump into you at Fenway sometime. Keep up the great content!

I didn’t really like baseball until I stumbled across your content! You make watching baseball a grand old time.

Now I have a reason to bond with my dad. We weren’t really close but we’ve recently been watching all your new videos together.

So excited for all the content coming up this season! Cheers!

Hey Zack! It was awesome watching your video from Seoul Series. I wanted to reach out to see if you are going to any of the Orioles home opener games vs the Angles? I know you are a huge Mike Trout fan and I know my boys are huge Zack Hample fans! We are going to the Saturday game and if you were attending I know my son would love to get a pic with you.

Hey Zack. My name is Brandon. Im a big fan and have been for a long time. Love the strong passion you have for baseball and memorbillia, its fueled my passion and it began a hobby i never knew id enjoy. Thank you for that. Do you have any advice for someone want home run balls but doesnt have great mobility? Ive has 2 back surgeries and two knew surgeries. I do alot of autographing by the baseline, (i dont need to walk much at all to do that), but id love to get a homerun ball. Should me and my wife park out there maybe i can train her? Lol god bless Zack! Have a great day friend!!

Hi Zack,

I am going to be at PNC Park sometime in May and I was hoping that you could come sometime in May once I have an official date.

Thanks.

March 7, 2024

Hey Zack,

I hope you’re doing well!!

I just wanted to let you know that I witnessed Andrew McCutchen’s 2,000 hit with my great great aunt which was probably the highlight of my year in 2023. As I witnessed this I thought too bad you weren’t there to possibly snag the milestone!

As a matter of fact I just watched your video of you jumping into the Allegheny River which I thought was a pretty slick move.

I was wondering on as to when you are planning to come to PNC Park as I would love to meet you and see you do you AWESOME HOBBY!!

I have continued to enjoy watching your videos and I wish you the best on this upcoming season collecting baseballs.

Take care my man,
L.J.

Zack.

Watched your scenes in “The Booksellers”-- great job! I noticed this print in the background of the Argosy Autograph department and I am very interested in the history and provenance of this piece, including what it is.

I have circled the print in the two screenshots below-- I believe it is the United States Supreme Court. If you still work with Argosy, we are in NYC in a couple weeks and would love to visit.

Thanks for your time! I am a huge baseball fan so I will be living vicariously through you with all the live baseball you get to see. (Go Mariners!)

Images below.

All the Best.

Hi Zack, I've been watching your videos for a while now and I really enjoy watching them. You are a great youtuber, keep up the good work! I am from the Uk and visiting Chicago towards the end of March, my third time visiting the states and whilst I'm there I'm going to be seeing the white sox against the tigers, it's my second baseball game as well. I just wanted to ask since i saw a video of you using the cup trick device at the white sox stadium, do the white sox allow ball retrieval devices like that?

Thanks and keep up the good work

Hey Zack,

I wanted to write you for 2 reasons:

1. I absolutely love your videos. You present your videos in a manner that makes them very entertaining to watch, and you sprinkle a lot of trivial tidbits during your videos that make them even more great to watch.

2. I just watched your video on getting your 9,000th ball signed by Joc Pederson. (congrats on being able to get that signature). In that video, you mentioned that you needed Fransisco Liriano's autograph on your 11,000th ball. I thought I'd point out to you, in case you didn't already know, that (at least according to his Wikipedia page) Fransisco Liriano is the first cousin of retired pitcher Santiago Cassila. So it stands to reason that if you were to meet Cassila, that you could possibly ask about getting the ball autographed by Liriano because they're family members. This gives you one more lead that you can possibly pursue.

Thanks for being an awesome content creator.

Sincerely,
Bob M.

Hey met you a few times in Baltimore years ago. You were dating a lovely girl and were shopping at Whole Foods I think she told me she was vegan. Anyway you took a few minutes to talk to me and my son how to get balls and autographs. It works at NBA and NFL games too! Such a great experience and I hope you are doing well! Thanks again

Hey Zack,

My name is AJ Rodriguez, I am 9 years old & I play travel ball. I play shortstop. I love baseball, my team won the World Series last summer in Georgia. I am a huge fan of yours. I watch your channel all the time. I am fascinated that you know just where to be to get the foul balls & homeruns. I hit my 1st out of the park home run last season out to left center.

The coolest thing happened, my mom works at a doctors office & scanned a friend of yours - Andrew Bingham. She was talking to him about me & baseball & he said I know Zack. We got to talking about your channel he couldn't say enough good things about you. He was so nice he even brought me back your book you wrote, a signed Don Mattingly ball & a spring training ball he got with you.

I would love to meet you 1 day if you ever come to Florida or close by let me know. My dad & I are trying to make it to every baseball stadium by the time I graduate - we have been to 6 so far.

Keep getting those balls,
AJ & Angel - AJ's mom

Dear Mr. Hample,

Hey there! I'm Sam, and I'm just 12 years old. I had to write to you because, seriously, your baseball videos are, like, the coolest thing ever! I don't know how you manage to catch so many baseballs, but it's like magic.

I watch your videos all the time, and I just wanted to say a massive thank you. You've totally inspired me to love baseball even more. The way you get excited about every game is just contagious. It's like you're having the best time ever, and it makes me wanna go out and play ball with my friends.

I'm super thankful for the joy your videos bring. Your passion for baseball has made a big impact on me. I wish I could be as good as you at catching baseballs. Do you have, like, a secret or something? Maybe you could give me some tips someday? That would be so epic! I dream about making those awesome catches just like you do.

Also, I am so, so excited for the 2024 MLB season! Can't wait to watch all the games and see the amazing videos you'll post during the season. Thank you so much for being super cool and making me love the game even more.

Biggest thank you,
Sam
