Wrigley Field security was NOT HAPPY about this

Cubs fans love doing this, and the security guards HATE it. What's the deal? Wrigley Field bleachers are rowdy! That's the deal. It's part of the charm on Chicago's north side.
The Washington Nationals were in town, which meant that Kyle Schwarber and Jon Lester were back. Meanwhile this was a "Watch With Zack" game -- I was with five kids and their father, and there was so much action from start to finish. We snagged a baseball outside the stadium on Waveland Avenue before the bleacher gates even opened, and we caught lots of baseballs after that on the inside during batting practice. It rained a lot. We ate lots of food. Tons of shenanigans. And we saw a great game too.
Our combined final baseball tally was indeed 18 (!!), and you can see more stats from all my "Watch With Zack" games here:

[@theguitargamer3372]

I don't care what some ppl say this guy is great for baseball. For 1. He shows that nobody is too old to let their inner child out every now and then. 2. He ALWAYS takes care of the kids and makes sure lots of them get a ball. And 3. He informs fans what to expect when they get a chance to see their first game. I personally have never got to see a game live but when I finally do I'm thing to put some of what I've learned from Zack into practice. Keep making great content and spreading the love of the game!

[@wadesanecki7269]

You may not believe it but, most mlb teams have rules prohibiting non-players from throwing balls into the stands to fans. I know this because a friend of mine was a trainer, and wasn´t supposed to toss balls into the stands. And that included me when I would stop down a see him before a game near the dugout. Players on the other hand can throw as many as they want.

[@robertgaba9241]

Well, I was Cubs security for 2 years, 16 and 17. Welcome to Ricketts Field, traditions are dead. The Bleacher Bums have been chased out. The job is literally 18-23 year olds being managed by 25-30 year old basement dwellers. They get a little too power hungry and take the job way too seriously. Lost sight of the fact that baseball is suppose to be fun. Squashing the cup snake thing became practically top priority for the season after the W/S because it "encouraged over serving." That said, I would do it all over again. Only way some Paramedic on the south side of Chicago was ever going to be able to be inside of that ball park to watch the Cubs play in and eventually win the World Series. Oh. And I got a ring out of the deal.

[@zackhample]

Hell YES to the ring. 👊
