15:32 nice sync up Zack

[@zackhample]

Thank you! So glad that someone noticed/appreciated it. :)

[@vampsent]

i saw that too it perfectly synced lol

[@ecassels]

Rank all the ball parks!

[@jasonsierchio1167]

I watched a bunched of your videos. I think it's great that you're giving the little kids those balls... It may make them a baseball fan for life... and you making these videos can get a new generation interested in baseball. Keep it up!!!! World needs more baseball fans.

[@zackhample]

Thank you! I really appreciate that.

[@jorgerodriguez85]

When Zack gingerly handled the Homerun Derby ball, I had a good chuckle, because he knew some of you would freak that he's tossing balls behind his back. That's one of the things that makes Zack videos fun, because he IS having fun with his collection, & not getting all tensed up about it getting all damaged. More power to ya Zack. Rest well. We'll see you when we see you.👍

[@zackhample]

Ha, thanks! No freaking yet . . .

[@renegade44040]

I watched all of this video and found the provenance of your collection very interesting and informative. 🎸

[@zackhample]

Thank you! Glad you made it all the way through.

[@the_claydog02]

Oh yeah, Gotta love the intro "What's up guys??? Zack Hample" 0:02

[@zackhample]

:)

[@the_claydog02]

I went to a Reds game too on 5/4/19. I didn't get any baseballs, this was my very first Reds game and they blasted 5 HR'S!!! Great memories at a beautiful stadium eh?

[@jefftkey]

The Pirates also had a commemorative ball to celebrate Steve Blass's retirement and 60 years with the organization. They only used it for the last home game of the season.

[@zackhample]

Wish I could have been there, but I was in Texas.

[@astrosbaseball4130]

Hey can’t wait for this video you are the best

[@zackhample]

[@SamPhillips01]

Love all your vids!! REALLY LOVE THIS ONE!!

[@zackhample]

Thanks!

[@mlballhawks]

Love when I can see that there will be extra time after the list of social media accts - knowing there's a fun tag coming! And really like seeing the clips of you getting the balls mixed in! Bravo as always!

[@jack_leafs5121]

Great video Zack! Maybe you should do a video in 2020 previewing potential or confirmed commemorative balls for the 2020 season! Have a nice evening.

[@zackhample]

Good idea BUT . . . I try not to see the logos until I catch them.

[@jack_leafs5121]

Good point! Im sure the surprise factor adds something special :)

[@dannymears4499]

Why didn’t go to the World Series? DC is not that long of a drive.

[@zackhample]

True but that stadium is a pain.

[@penguinsproductions457]

Do your opinion on the Astros right now.

[@zackhample]

My opinion is VERY low.

[@penguinsproductions457]

I see.

[@penguinsproductions457]

But if the all of the stuff is true what do you think the MLB should do? I think they should take away there championship and have no team win it that year.

[@macy8168]

The star in the Omaha logo is super cool because on a map of Nebraska that star is located right where Omaha is. Little details like that make the commemorative balls awesome!

[@zackhample]

Very cool! I didn't know that.

[@Kam-vb2bx]

I wanna see an updated version of this! Great stuff!

[@Luke-we7uf]

I live in Cleveland, and got both a home run derby ball and an all star game ball, great experience!

[@jorgerodriguez85]

That's cool !!!

[@zackhample]

Nice!

[@timreuter5186]

Hey Zack, I was wondering if you might be going to the Cal Ripken Jr 25 anniversary game of 2131 on September 6, 2020. I know your plans are up in the air, but I just want to know if you are thinking about it. Also, I LOVE all of your videos and I am looking forward you post more videos throughout the off-season.

[@Nolanryan1968]

Very Nice love your collection wish you the best in 2020 season.

[@zackhample]

Thank you!

[@adamrodriguez4240]

I really enjoy looking at how tight the stitching got over the years compared to the ones that aren't even 20 years old

[@brendanwaldron7602]

great vid zack

[@zackhample]

Thanks!

[@Brayzzi_1]

For q&a part 19 this is a question ( do you ever plan to retire from ballhawking?)

[@zackhample]

No plans yet.

[@Brayzzi_1]

But please do it

[@logsters9091]

I live in Nebraska. When I heard that there would be a game there I knew you would be there. I was so sad I couldn’t go

[@zackhample]

Bummer!

[@sean218]

It is such a great job that when you went to a game that used commemorative balls, you got one during the game. Can't wait to see more videos about baseballs!!

[@zackhample]

Thanks, Sean!

Zack Hample, you are 1203 snags away from snag #12,345...and you will celebrate that day by drinking an entire can of Coca Cola.

[@zackhample]

NO!!!

[@mathieumarquis7924]

Great video Zack! I could watch you talk about those baseballs for a whole day :) For your next video, you could do a best and worse commemoratives baseballs from each year since you collect them! Keep up the good work, greetings from Canada✌️🇨🇦

[@Glitch94]

Hey Zack. I highly doubt you’re going toread or react to this comment but. since the 2010 decade is about to end. How about you do a video of your top 10 favorite Commemorative baseballs you’ve collected. Favorite commemorative baseballs collected over the decade. Or memorable moments you’ve attended at baseballs games in the 2010s. It might sound stupid but anything to spark up ideas.

[@zackhample]

That's a cool idea. Lemme think about this . . .

[@debbieavidane6888]

Zach you made me get back into baseball so thank you

[@biga1334]

I enjoy Your videos.. if you ever need a film guy for the Seattle home games let me know!!!

Thanks for the offer.

[@evanspiegelofficial2963]

What is your opinion on the Houston Astros cheating? Could you put this in your next QNA? Could I also have a shoutout I’m a huge fan.

[@chasewitty1149]

What do you think about the Brewers new uniforms/logos?

[@timreuter5186]

What do you think about the White Sox signing Yasmani Grandal?

[@martian77637]

Interesting thought... they went to a single navy blue coloring, maybe to cut costs? (Don't need to prepare multiple colors)

[@leakyjeep5.9]

Cut open a 2015 ball and compare to a 2019 ball.

[@shanegraham1126]

Great to get another video with no games

[@zackhample]

Thanks! More stuff on the way soon.

[@ethanrubio6041]

Hey Zack, since you’ve showed your collection of baseballs and commerative baseballs how about you show us your baseball card collection in your next video?

[@zackhample]

I'd love to, but those are mostly tucked away in storage.

[@ethanrubio6041]

Zack Hample maybe you could show your best cards. That’s what I would do if I was you.

[@marcusyuen5801]

The additional nice touch about this commemorative ball video is that Zack actually gave Lincoln Nebraska a shout out... that’s nice because nothing ever happens out here 👍🏻

[@zackhample]

I love the london series one, congrats on all those awesome baseballs Zack!

[@zackhample]

Thanks!

[@jdyt687]

The only ball I was interested in was the rubber band ball in the background

[@todd_on_bikes]

The Edgar Martinez celebration was just a HOF celebration, not a number retirement. I bet those other balls shown with the Edgar ball were also for their number retirement...eh? Edgar has a number retirement ceremony and commemorative a few years back, which included his number on the back of his jersey. And, as a bonus, the Kingdome was in the background....as was Safeco Field.

[@zackhample]

Cool, thanks for letting me know. Wish I had a ball with Kingdome artwork on it.

[@matttrevino7989]

Zach in your next Q& A. What are your plans for Thanksgiving?

Good, given the fact that they were playing the Cheatin' Stros.

Zack, Do you know what staduims will be having commemorative baseballs this year? I know PNC Park is having 20 anniversary this year not sure if they will have a ball?

[@MrGameMeister]

Does the MLB or Rawlings publish each year the commemorative logos that will be available during the season?

[@josenieves6947]

Hi! Zack... Stupid question and maybe You have it...Do you have the Roberto Clemente ball? It’s from the Roberto Clemente Puerto Rico Professional Baseball League.

[@joedecker9057]

Zack for next q and a can u put one of my ?’s in please. Question is where u think Dallas keuchel will end up next year

[@jps8080]

As someone who went to college in Lincoln, Nebraska, I totally knew it was the capital. Side note: the star on that logo is right where Omaha is in the state. The ONE thing I didn't like is how they couldn't rig it up to avoid that part of the border showing up in the middle of the O.

[@zackhample]

Very cool about the star. Always love your insights.

[@jeremymeister715]

We are around the same age so im just interested to know if you have caught any hr balls from the greatest athlete of all time mr. Bo jackson. I dont know if you started back when he was playing or not. Keep up the great vids man.
