I got MOBBED by my fans after catching ANOTHER home run at Guaranteed Rate Field

First batter of the game! Not sure who was more stunned -- me or everyone else. This was the third home run that I caught in 15 days, and it was my 91st lifetime game home run at MLB games.
This game took place on May 30, 2023 between the Chicago White Sox and the Los Angeles Angels, so I got to see Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani -- and Taylor Ward! That's who hit the home run, and that's when things turned to chaos for me . . . in a fun way.

Great day Z... and the one thing I love about you and your channel is how you interact with the fans. Bravo sir.

[@aidanfinkofficial]

You’re amazing, Zack! All the love you got after catching the home run- just awesome I love to see it! 2nd time now you got a leadoff home run (other was Anthony Rendon at Citizens Bank Park on your birthday in 2015.) And this was the 2nd time you’ve had crying babies in a KZbin video (other was April 12, 2021 at Tropicana Field.) That’s a really random stat but I remember EVERYTHING.

[@zackhample]

HAHAHAHA, omg how did you know that about the babies? You're insane in the best possible way. I did remember the Rendon homer. I think that one might've been on the very first pitch?

Hello Zack, appreciated your 12180 baseball for my 2 little boys and also made lots smile in the game. Wish that we can see you in baseball game in the future and expect that we can see our game in your video too. We expected that could see you on 8/9/22 which Shohei got the chance for 10HRs 10WINs in OAK game before we went back to Taiwan. We were so excited to see you in CHI.

[@lionsfan7500]

It pisses me off so bad when other youtubers will say that you knock down kids to get a ball, which is so far from the truth. I really believe that these youtubers are actually just jealous of you because you are so talented and great with your fans and the kids. Watching you take the time to take pics with all these kids and just absolutely making their day is so heartfelt and this is what separates you from the others and that's your heart you put in your videos and that's why your content is leaps and bounds better than the rest! Keep up the GREAT WORK ZACK!
