Everyone was drunk and this could've turned UGLY

43,987 fans crammed into Camden Yards to see the Orioles play the Phillies, and it was CHAOTIC, especially on the Flag Court where just about everybody was intoxicated. One guy got hit in the face. Another guy attempted to drink three beers at once. The game itself was crazy, the weather was horrible (at the end), and there were other noteworthy moments, the best of which was meeting a college basketball player who's nearly 7 feet tall. The entire day was a fun pain in the ass if that makes sense.
I actually met three basketball players (all with the University of Maryland). Their names are Braden Pierce, Lucas Sotell, and Ben Murphy. Here they are on the team's website:

Enjoyed the vid! My Dad and I are big-time Phillies fans and baseball fans as well. Long story short we would sneak down to Camden Yards to Catch an O's game once a year because my Dad loved that stadium. I was at the first Phillies/Orioles interleague game there and saw Cal Ripken hit his 400th homerun against the then Devil Rays. The place has some great memories for me.

[@brinagonzalez9104]

I’ve been watching you since 2015 when my then 9 year old told me. I actually enjoyed the content from 2015-19 when the videos might have been shorter but I found them funnier and you posted more often. Fast forward, I get the going for quality over quantity in terms of both balls and stadiums visited, but some of those older videos were special. You included more food and travel vlogs and on screen dialogue with your videographers who I know have changed course professionally. Just keep on being you. Both formats are great and bring cheer to an otherwise poor by my standards baseball season.

[@zackhample]

I appreciate that. My current videographer doesn't want to be a character on my channel, which is a shame, but I respect that. Everything from my perspective has gotten harder and more stressful, and I'm rethinking a lot of what I'm going to do moving forward.

[@brinagonzalez9104]

You don’t owe any of us anything. Slowing down, not posting in advance where you are, and going for milestone balls, commemoratives, etc might not be as exciting for the average watcher but if pleases you, that is what is important. And if you once in awhile go to a big rivalry game just as a fan no one is going to fault you for that either. It’s a kids game that is supposed to be fun for the players and should be for you as well.

[@thomaspaterson6626]

I was at this game but was on the opposite side of the stadium! If I knew you were there or just would have randomly seen you I would’ve gotten a picture! Ah, sometimes things in life just don’t go your way. I look forward to maybe seeing/running into you at another game in my life so we can get a picture!

[@Nicholaskcl]

hey zack, just wonder, have you ever considered doing the 9/9/9 challenge? (9 beers, 9 hot dogs, 9 innings). I think it would make for a really fun video and change from the usual routine of ball hawking. Not saying there's anything wrong with it, just saying it would be cool to see you complete this!

[@zackhample]

I don't like beer or hot dogs, so no! But I hear ya. What else could I eat and drink? Nine waters and nine ice creams?

[@adamcapo100]

Good video, did you know it was going to be packed & said heck with it I’m still going? Or shocked for it to be that busy

[@thomaswatson9527]

I'll be honest, I didn't think this was one of your better videos. It looked like you mailed it in. With that said, it's good you post the good, the bad, and the ugly of your stadium adventures. Keep up the amazing work - your channel is the BEST ON KZbin.

[@zackhample]

That's fair. It was a REALLY rough day for me personally so I did what I could, which wasn't much. Thanks for watching.

[@thomaswatson9527]

@@zackhample I totally understand - and I'm sorry to hear you had a rough day. Keep on trucking brother, we love your videos.

[@aidanfinkofficial]

Great video as always. You did make it quick and fun. I felt you with the frustration of not catching a home run on the flag court with it being so empty on Sunday night-- it was expected to rain and it did but hardly did so it made less people show up and I had so much room on the flag court, but both the Rangers and Orioles’ lineups were overwhelming right handed and nothing came my way. The closest I came to a home run over the weekend was Corey Seager hitting one of the poles on the flag court and it bounced back on the field. My first time hanging out on the flag court-- it’s fun but the challenge is not being able to see what’s going on really, so I peaked my head a bit when righties were up. Camden Yards is so much fun tho. I gotta put up a crooked number in the home run column sometime soon hopefully. And hopefully you get #100 soon.

[@Mr.Mustache438]

[@maskedmarvel]

I was at this game, what a win for my Phils!

[@gregorykrug8034]

This video was great! I do not need to see you raking in 10+ balls for it to be a good watch. I have been to Camden Yards a few times (and Baltimore's Memorial Stadium a couple times), and I have always appreciated their odd foul poles. (I went to a game at Memorial Stadium many years ago where some fan climbed the RF foul pole and stayed up there for several innings while police officers were at the bottom of it, waiting for him to come down.)

[@zackhample]

Haha, that's wild! And thanks -- nice to know that my numbers don't make or break the video.

Yes Zack should even that he’s at 99 career home runs and bring a random home run like his John Mayberry home run ball to give back to James so and say it’s his first so he can keep Mr. Wood’s first.

[@tomdiets5079]

Been to a lot of Orioles games over the years and the only time I ever se problems is when the Phillies fans come to town, I know not all of them are like that because I’ve met several Phillies fans at Orioles games that I got along with, but I swear their are always fights after and even sometimes during the games and it only ever happens with Phillies fans. I mean Red Sox and Yankees fans come and there’s always trash talking back and forth but no fights ever break out. Way to win the Series 2 games to 1 for the Orioles after a close tuff lose in game one against the team with the best record in baseball.

[@markakira8988]

Zack, not a joke, you saved me $20 off for Ryne Sandberg Day at Wrigley last Sunday with your 'Zack" promo on Seatgeek. Thanks. Peace out. I got my bobblehead.

[@Ayden_Tempesta]

Awesome vid as always Z! When I saw the title, I expected Boston again or New York as the location. Then I remembered the last vid, you said you’d be at Camden! 😅 Super happy you still posted this despite the rough night. But hey, at least you got on the board! And I’m telling you, Kyle Schwarber is gonna hit you one before the season ends. These last two games are a sign!

[@zackhample]

Thanks. I pretty much always post the video when I film, but I was tempted to scrap this one. Glad I didn't. Lots of fun stuff happened.

[@jakeplayz8363]

Zack are u coming to Atlanta anytime soon?

[@Zomboo-od1zx]

Agree too crowded. Thanks for posting the video can always learn something. For example best stadium to go to would be Oakland ( no crowds/more balls )!

[@zackhample]

Oakland sucks for BP. Tough to put up big numbers there even with small crowds.

[@tomdiets5079]

Proud of the Oriole’s they just played the Braves, Phillies and Yankees in order and took 2 out of 3 against all three of them. That’s a tuff schedule and the Oriole’s stood tall. Not to mention they had to play 29 games in 30 days in June.

Isn’t that what the flag court area is intended for Z ? It’s like a party deck. I’ve never been there but thats the vibe I get. Running around acting like you’re playing center field probably doesn’t sit well with the majority of the flag court people. That’s just my 3 cents. Anyhoo I just want to tell you I enjoy the diverse content you provide and keep on catchin those balls.

[@zackhample]

I mean, you're not wrong about the purpose, but what I do there truly affects NO ONE else. I'm not blocking anyone's view. I'm not getting in anyone's way. I'm just out there doing my own thing. And AHEM, I'm playing deep right field, not center. :p
