EPIC on-field experience with DON MATTINGLY and the Miami Marlins!

[@julianbungo8749]

Awesome video! Mattingly was my favorite player growing up. So sorry about all the negativity and name calling happening recently .It’s too bad. Anybody who is a fan and actually watches your videos knows what a good guy you are and how what you do is good for the game . Period ❤️

[@zackhample]

Thanks, that means a lot!

[@cooperholt2488]

Bro is the best

[@sgg2323]

This is not a good guy. People pay for front row seats in the stands, and this guy runs down walkways across sections, cuts in front of them to squeeze between the person and the fence right in front of them, and steals a ball. Just because he didn't bowl the person over doesn't mean it isn't a garbage move; it is. This happened in Boston, theres video proof. He thinks he makes up for it by giving foul balls to kids; no kid on this earth would choose getting a ball handed to them by a 44 year old scumbag over catching a ball off a bat from a major league player. Zack Hample is the definition of a garbage human being who makes the game worse for everyone around him.

Really appreciate how you keep us entertained. Don’t listen to the bad people and anyone who watches your videos knows that you are an absolute legend.

[@SATX271]

Zack, I truly appreciate your videos and all that you do to share your experiences with us (a way for me to see all of MLB stadiums and experiences on a budget lol 😅). With that said, idk why Stroman wants a followin to hate on you, you're truly one of a kind fan and person. As a Rangers fan, hats off to you and to the rest of your endeavors that you continue to bless us with. Much love! 🤘🏾🙏🏽

This to me mad zero sense why he's trying to call a fan out. I didnt realize till I saw a fb post about his comments he had so many haters. Pretty sad to be honest

[@thomaswatson9527]

Stroman is jealous because more kids want Zack's autograph than his. Marcus Stroman is a loser - PERIOD!

[@robertcrist6059]

7:26 Exactly my stance. I don't chase foul balls etc., I don't try for autos, simply getting the chance to talk with a player and get to know the person is what I want. I heard bullpen pitcher for the Royals (my team) Josh Staumont likes Pokemon and collects cards, well one game I showed up with a pack and tossed him it, we got to chat for a minute and he gave me a ball. Not my goal but now I get to add him to my book. The Dodgers were in town semi recently and I got to show Justin Turner my sign which read, "Justin Turner, I can beat you at Catan." (it's a board game) and he read the sign, smiled and shook his head no and we had a moment and that is way more valuable to me than a signed ball. Different perspectives and that's okay. Glad you had that interaction Zack.

[@zackhample]

That's really fun. It's nice to see the friendly/human side of these guys.

[@brinagonzalez9104]

You know you’ve made it when a person complains about you on a random IG post. Last time I checked these videos are fun, bring joy to those who can’t go to the ballpark, and get all those kids excited at every stop. I’m one of the “older” fans and I know that I’d be excited if I met my childhood hero. Who are these people to constantly judge? Great video as always.

Zack I'm sorry for the unwarranted hate you are getting on social media. My son is autistic and is unable to walk unassisted. A few years ago you gave him a ball at the Trop during a Rays game. He still talks about it and that ball goes everywhere with him, as if its some sort of safety blanket or something. You may not recall that day, but he will never forget it and for that I will always be Team Hample. Thank you for what you do for kids all over America. I does not go unnoticed.
