World's BIGGEST collection of autographed MLB ticket stubs (Part 1)

Hall of Famers, MVPs, All-Stars, Gold Glove winners, and lots of players you probably don't even remember. Welcome to the first installment of my autographed ticket collection!
As I mentioned in the video, these tickets are organized alphabetically by team: Angels, Astros, Athletics, and so on. Tickets, of course, don't come with the players' names printed on them so in order to keep track of who's who (and identify horrendous handwriting years after the fact), I've developed my own special system.
Thanks for watching and make sure to check out the other videos about my autographs . . .

LETS GO IVE BEEN WAITING

[@zackhample]

The wait is over!

[@comericachris7521]

Thank you Zack. You’re the best!! You made my daughters day by doing this video, and pinning her comment.

[@JuicyCutie]

Remember me from grant the goat I was Haydough guy

[@andyroon3931]

Erynn Johnson SAME

[@zackhample]

@@comericachris7521 Sweet! I'm glad to hear that. Thank you both for watching/being here.

[@RubberClits]

Love these videos! Your love, passion, and ORGANIZATION of all things baseball is truly phenomenal. Bats, balls, autographed stubs, hats, shirts, LISTS of games you've attended and what happened in each of the games, etc... I can't get enough! Keep it up, Zack!

[@zackhample]

Thanks so much. That means a lot to me. I love to document things and keep track of everything in my life -- sometimes just for fun and sometimes because it's extremely useful.

[@RubberClits]

@@zackhample For sure. The organization and documentation is so satisfying haha. You've hooked me with your website, too. I find myself going through random games you've been to and then check the box scores to see which players you saw, who did what and just little things that only baseball die hards love. "YOU SAW CHRIS HAMMOND THROW ONE OF HIS 3 CAREER SHUTOUTS IN 1995!?" (I'm a nerd and I fucking love it.)

[@xRestart]

Incredible how you can still asociate the signature to the player it belongs to. I couldnt do that with 95% of the tickets

[@zackhample]

That's what my computer list is for, but thanks.

[@osunburst299]

13:08 there a signature on the back of the ticket

[@finnm1370]

Zack you are my favorite youtuber!!! Will you show top 10 baseball cards?

[@zackhample]

Thanks! Cool idea.

[@josiahbaum2165]

Matt antonelli!!! That’s awesome u have his auto go watch his KZbin channel if u haven’t

[@bencleghorn7239]

Finally man! I've been waiting for this one! Awesome collection!

[@zackhample]

Thanks!

[@DavidAnuszewski]

Cal Ripken Jr. is my all time favorite baseball player too. I've been an Orioles fan since I was 7 years old. My grandfather took me to my 1st Orioles game back in 1989 season at Memorial Stadium. The "Why Not?" season. My first job back in 1999 while still in high school was at Orioles Park at Camden Yards working concession stands. My Aunt Kathy took me to an Atlanta Braves game at Fulton County Stadium (my 2nd game) in 1993 I think. I remember Terry Pendleton hitting a solo shot down the right field line. I'm thankful that I was able to go to those old stadiums. I always wished I could've visited Tiger Stadium. That's my favorite "historic" stadium.

[@zackhample]

Those are some great memories. Old ballparks were the best.

[@isthisgonnatakelong1101]

Cool collection Zack! I was surprised to see you have Matt Antonelli. Not sure if you know but he has a KZbin Channel - Antonelli Baseball - he does all kinds of videos about baseball. He does a lot of Q&A's on playing in the MLB and also insrtructional baseball videos.

[@zackhample]

I did know about his channel and have watched some of his vids. He seems like a cool guy.

[@qingyuanwu]

10:25 Matt Antonelli

[@EvanG1239]

Matt Antionali has a KZbin channel

[@danielpordham1733]

Cool that you have Matt Antonelli. Have you seen his KZbin channel? He talked about you once in one of his live-streams

[@zackhample]

Oh yeah? I was not aware that he knew about me.

[@panther4156]

Can't wait for baseball to start

[@hw4me678]

Thanks for sharing Zack. Another very cool idea I saw for getting autographs was to take a picture of a Major League Baseball on the outfield grass closeup. Then just take that film to Walmart to get several hundred color prints made of that photo and have the players sign the color photo on the balls sweet spot. I believe the photo was 3” x 5 “. Makes them easy to place in a binder for Storage/viewing....

[@zackhample]

That IS cool.

[@todds5678]

Yesss I have Been waiting for these!!

[@zackhample]

The wait is over!

[@ccrespin34]

Pretty cool to see a Matt Antonelli auto in there, considering hes on KZbin!

[@zackhample]

Yup! I was glad to see him in there too.

[@MrShawn-vy4nv]

Before the season starts, can you do a predictions video.

[@zackhample]

Definitely not. I suck at that, and it doesn't even interest me.

[@MrShawn-vy4nv]

Okay, just was a suggestion. @@zackhample

[@joeybrodeur548]

Finally I've been waiting forever to see you make this video

[@zackhample]

The wait is over!

[@matthewgoldberg91]

Just started watching your videos recently and wanted to say what an inspiration you are to the younger generations... a true role model!!! Keep up the amazing work Zack!!

[@zackhample]

Thanks so much!

[@jil2820]

Thank you zack I have been waiting since last year

[@zackhample]

The wait is over!

[@jil2820]

Zack how can I do a watch with zack game I forgot

[@LucasToyChest]

Very cool! That was random finding that Montreal ticket stub. It's great that you kept tabs of the autographs. I sometimes forget who signed some of mine.

[@zackhample]

Thanks! I think you should start keeping a list and maybe also try to figure out some of the old ones.

[@fungleebrezina]

my son watches you every single day and he is so glad that this video was posted (he was waiting so long for this video!!!!!)

[@todd_on_bikes]

Matt Antonelli is a KZbinr now. He runs a travel ball club and does a lot of interesting videos about his experiences in the majors, minors, and coaching.

[@zackhample]

I am aware of his KZbin presence -- he seems like a great guy.

[@markakira8988]

"...almost a thousand signed stubs". Watch out, I am only 991 behind you! Great vid Zack! Highlight of the KZbin day as always.

[@zackhample]

You might get there someday. Glad you liked the vid.

[@brandongast1990]

I remember the Marlins and it was crazy how they changed the ballpark in Miami 20+ times. Pro Player Stadium, Joe Robbie Stadium, Pro Player Park, Dolphin Stadium.

[@zackhample]

Insanity.

[@kellyhiggins4234]

If Meatloaf was alive he would of loved your collection. I started autograph tickets when I was at a concert or if on tour I'd have the warm up acts sign my passes. It's a great way to keep as new . What great memories you have there. Thanks for sharing.

[@alexfuentes0077]

6:10 it says the price is 0.00

[@dannasanchez2388]

This amazing how dedicated you are, I personally want to get into ballhawking. I’m way to busy. I have one of your books, which I recommend ALL of his books to readers. I have a few questions that if you see this, can you answer? 1) What made you want to start ballhawking? 2) What is the average amount of games you go in one year? 3) What is your favorite ticket, design-wise? You are such an inspiration, and I hope for more videos! :D

[@zackhample]

Thanks! Hope you find some free time. 1) Seeing fans on TV catching baseballs. 2) About 100 a year for the last eight years. 3) The early Dodger stubs in this vid are so colorful and nice -- love 'em.

[@dannasanchez2388]

Zack Hample Thank you some much, you are amazing:))

[@federalgrant]

Wow Derrick Turnbow! Great video Zack!

[@zackhample]

Ha, a blast from the past, right? So many of those.

[@chadmcfly1299]

Your vids are kind of addicting.

[@Marka1999]

[@zackhample]

The times they are-a-changin'.

[@markakira8988]

All these names you are reading reminiscent of a graduation ceremony.

[@zackhample]

Ha.

[@endlessmountain]

All those Blue Jays ticket stubs bring me back memories as I went to dozens of games in both exhibitions stadium and skydome up until September of '93. Since then one game in 2007 and my ticket stub looked a lot different than your modern ones and was a premium $50 ticket I bought for $20.

[@zackhample]

Aww, nice. Glad you enjoyed that.

[@jacksonreel6218]

Matt Antonelli has a KZbin channel

[@tracishintaku2851]

Q & A Zack, would you rather collect 100 baseballs in a game or collect a game used walk off grand slam all star game signed ball by both teams? Everyone else comment what you would rather have

[@zackhample]

Granny all the way.

[@ronhoffman7095]

Zack you should be in the baseball hall of autographs 😁anyway great video👍

[@zackhample]

Thanks!

[@vanceharvey2577]

You went to the game and got the autograph from Cal Ripken the day of my birthday but many years before I was born

[@zackhample]

Nice! Welcome to the world, late-comer. :)

Sweet autos Zack!! Home run king! I lol’d at “To ZACTCH”

[@zackhample]

Oh what I would do to buy a ticket for as low as 2.00$! Super neat to see the prices on these

[@austinkaiser5858]

Zack, you going to the Mexico Series (Reds vs. Cardinals) in April?

[@zackhample]

No.

Yay! Glad to hear that.

[@adamtorres109]

Gary Thurman was the first autograph I ever got as a kid!

[@zackhample]

Nice!

[@jonaspein4490]

The Matt Antonelli is pretty cool. He actually has a youtube channel and answers questions about MLB life and such.

[@zackhample]

I agree.

Dang and its also PI day lol nice!

[@SomeoneElsesStory]

OH MY GOD. Its here! The autograph collection video is finally here!

[@zackhample]

You know it, baby. And there's more on the way.

[@DH34baseballfun]

HI ZACK, before the baseball season begins, why not go to one NHL hockey game? Like a NY Rangers game at Madison Square Garden, or a NY Islanders game at Barclays Center? If you sit close in any arena, like in the sections 220's and lower in like Madison Square Garden you could get a t shirt for free. They have t-shirt tosses in rangers games at the Garden. I telling you, it would be an excellent idea for you!!!

[@zackhample]

Sounds fun, but not sure if I have the mental bandwidth for that right now.

[@garymillin6599]

Love the collection! Been waiting for this video for ever!! How do you read all those script names so easily?

[@jps8080]

Toward the beginning, the video shows an electronic list of names in order by team. Not that I'd put it past Zack to actually know all these by sight, but I'd say for something like this he's referring to the laptop offscreen for any he doesn't recognize right away. Watch his right hand, occasionally it goes off screen, that's probably when he's scrolling down the list on the laptop. (Just my theory.)

[@zackhample]

@@jps8080 You are correct. Sometimes I was scrolling. Sometimes I was tapping the mousepad when the screen dimmed.

[@ZGBrickfilms]

Awesome collection Zack! I’m looking forward to part 2!

[@zackhample]

Thanks!

[@javierarredondo9956]

do you have any bobbleheads? show us your collection if you do pls

[@zackhample]

Nah, I only have a few that I plan to give away.

[@jdog2412]

In May I went to a Jay's game and got a granderson autograph he is so nice.

[@zackhample]

He's awesome.

[@jdog2412]

Zack Hample I know right thank you for commenting you are so cool btw nice autos

[@paullilko41]

TIM SPOONEYBARGER!!! I didn’t see that one coming lol dude pitched for maybe 3 years in early 2000s

[@zackhample]

Haha, you remember!

[@spritz19]

The Expos ticket stubs intrigued me (mostly because I can read them because I took six years of French in school lol). If you can remember, was everything in their ballpark French and not English or was French prioritized? (And as a bonus, did you have a good understanding of French when you were there?)

[@zackhample]

I know some French and can get by. Everything was in French at the stadium.

[@DB24]

Did u notice at 11:17 it's actually Michael Barrett and Jose vidrio is the next one. just had them backwards is all.

[@odomer]

Hey Zack, for that ticket stub of the Expos vs. Pirates game on the 28th of June 1986, that you found and got signed by Jeff Reardon years later, Reardon actually played in that very game, pitched 2.2 hitless innings with 2 SOs and got the save. Good player to get that stub signed by!

[@zackhample]

Very cool! I'm glad to know that.

[@kathyesposito5313]

Hey Zack I’m love the NFL so much but I love watching your channel and I do go to some MLB games too I’m a Phillies fan. I’ve only been to one other stadium and that is Fenway Park.

[@zackhample]

Thanks for watching. Hope you make it to lots more games.

[@andyroon3931]

WELL ITS ABOUT TIME!!!!

[@Failwhale314]

This is a SUPER impressive collection!

[@zackhample]

Thanks!

[@adamwrather8722]

I'm a cardinals fan any thought on the 2019 season with the Goldy trade?

[@zackhample]

They're gonna be goooood.

[@gusclaimer21]

That Jose Vidro 11:17 autograph looks like Frank Thomas' autograph...nice video Zack! For your Q&A 16, on your compiled stats, do you have the W-L record of home team for all the games you've attended? (by team or stadium...runs scored avg)

[@zackhample]

Thanks but nope, I don't keep track of that.

[@dylansantos244]

Awesome video been waiting for this

[@zackhample]

Thanks!

I would got a photo book for every team and one person per page with ticket and card etc. You have the best hobby in the world.

I stoped my homework for this..

[@zackhample]

Hahaha, YASSSSS!!!

[@AndrewOsborn-hp6ig]

Just been going through your website and saw that you only attended 10 in the 1998 season. I am being nosey but how come so few that year? Did you go travelling or something?

[@zackhample]

I think you mean 1997. I was in college far from a MLB team (by choice).

[@hockeyvids3213]

That’s so cool how many tickets you have Zack and the autographs on them

[@guccislides14]

Wow part 1

Zack was the Cabrera one when he was from Miami Marlins or the current team with Detroit Tigers? I heard Cabrera but didn’t pay attention for which team my badlol

Marlins.

They were the Florida Marlins when Cabrera was there.

The only signatures I ever got was Blaine Beatty and John Olin (RIP)...we remember Kris Benson's wife ;)...how can you read their scribbles? Or do you just remember them? Vidro was a good player.

[@jps8080]

He has a list he shows at the beginning, in the same order.

Do you only have Yankees season tickets and not Mets, hence the abundance of Mets stubs?
