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 🇨🇦❤️

[@markakira8988]

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.

[@moosenation66]

I watched the video a year ago it was good

[@baseballbetts2813]

Ok thank you so much Zach I love all your vids!

@@baseballjet1476 Thanks so much!

[@Protectionwitnes321]

This actually brought a tear to my eye. Good vibes all around in the video, people being nothin but friendly, go anywhere you please without worrying about distancing and such. Everything used to be so nice before this pandemic 😭

[@zackhample]

So true. Glad you enjoy this so much.

[@danielhicks1682]

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.

[@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!

[@EfstathiosSoultanidis]

I still remember 5 years ago when u were the first youtuber that actually replied to a comment. Little things like that keep people watching for a long time. Congrats on 500k

[@zackhample]

Aww, thanks. I do my best. Thanks for this nice comment.

[@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 is a true legend this is something you deserved even if you didn’t know this was going to happen and congrats! Lovin the content! 👍

[@zackhample]

That's amazing. I hope you make it back too.

[@rubenperez5204]

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! 💯🤘

[@zackhample]

Thank you so much! You sure covered a lot of my highlights here in this comment, and I really appreciate that . . . and the good vibes.

15:54 .. this display has been there on all my three visits, 1997, 2011, & 2016. I wonder why pitchers never figured out to always pitch Ted Williams low and inside.

Bro I'm sorry I'm a year late i literally have been binge watching your channel since i start following you. But man look you got to be a bad ass to be a fan and have a film made for you you made it man. I love base ball from the smell of the gloves to the sound the bat and glove makes when the ball hits it. You just make it so fun to be a fan and to be apart of this channel and see how far it's grown. I wish you nothing but success and your fans love you man i hope i can br lucky enough to have a conversation or just to meet you would be a life changer. God bless you keep it up. Hope to get a shout out one day keep being a fantastic person and fan.

[@nancycoleman369]

Hope to get to the Hall of Fame someday! Get finished reading Zack’s book “Watching Baseball Smarter.” A good refresher course on baseball. It was also very entertaining to read. But it was written before instant replay reviews by umpires were allowed. I have no nostalgia for the days when the announcers used to watch it from different angles and say the player was really out. I’m glad baseball got out of the dark ages and caught up with the other sports who have had the review for a long time!

[@zackhample]

Yup, that book is ready for an update.
