The Hall of Fame showed a documentary about ME! Behind the scenes at my EPIC DAY in Cooperstown

[@zackhample]

FYI, this was filmed pre-COVID (as it says on the bottom of the screen in the first 10 seconds). That's why no one was wearing a face mask. Sorry for any confusion, but thanks for your concern. Also, while you're waiting for the full-length documentary to come out, you can watch the short version here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqWykIWoash8nsU

[@baseballjet1476]

I love watching your videos Zack! Huge fan from 🇨🇦❤️

The timing of the documentary and the HOF presentation could not of been better. Imagine the stress if this was cancelled due to Covid restrictions. //Those guys who recognized you at 2:36 finally got to meet you at 7:25.

[@zackhample]

I do!

[@donutcookiepie]

I'd love to see you make a video answering some or all of those questions in this video; just a whole video about that. that would be great! thanks in advance if you do and great job; this is awesome! Even though I live in Miami I've been to Cooperstown 10 times and I even have a little bit of my writings in there in their library in the form of Fort Myers Miracle programs. I've also done a lot of research in their library as I am working on only the second known doctoral dissertation which revolves around Minor League Baseball but also involves Florida operations of Major League organizations.

[@zackhample]

Very cool! I'll think about it but for now I'm content with all the Q&A videos that I do -- 24 of them so far and probably another coming soon-ish. We'll see.

[@donutcookiepie]

@@zackhample all good my man.... whatever you decide. thanks for getting back to me. Perhaps a whole video on that might indeed be overkill. I was getting a little carried away LOL. if it's covered in Q&A 25 that would more than suffice (no need to mention anything about my own Cooperstown connection. I definitely don't wanna make it about me; I'm far too shy and much prefer to mostly toil in anonymity.) ;) thanks again.... keep rockin!

Crazy I was just thinking today you belong in the Hall somehow. You deserve it man, the fans are just as important as the players. Your passion deserves a place there. It’s no accident you caught Trouts first HR.

[@reidcraig3739]

Hey Zack, at the 3:22 mark in the video, You’re standing by the film is a sign of where the films are being played. In the sign is also the movie “A League of their Own”. I always like bringing this up about this film is that film was actually filmed mostly in Southwest Indiana even though the teams we’re based out of the northern Illinois/Wisconsin area. I myself was very fortunate enough to play on both those fields in high school as I only went to high school just 30 minutes away from both fields. One of the fields belong to a Conference rival. The other field which is in Evansville, it is actually the third oldest professional ballpark in the US behind both Wrigley and Fenway.

Zack, congratulations to you on this major achievement! You've come a long way. From starting your streak in 1993, to collecting many baseballs from every MLB stadium, including those no longer around; catching baseballs that were famous and being so kind to return them to the player; then having Topps cards make cards dedicated to you, and much more! Don't stop what you're doing! Keep going! You're gonna farther than you thought possible! 💯🤘
