EPIC DAY with VIP ACCESS -- Albuquerque Isotopes (Rockies Triple-A)

Question: what happens when I'm given TOTAL access at a minor league stadium? Answer: the coolest baseball video you'll ever see. (But no, really.)
I went DEEP behind the scenes at Isotopes Park in Albuquerque, New Mexico -- on the field, in the clubhouse, the batting cages, and even inside the humidor where hundreds of baseballs are stored (at 70 degrees Fahrenheit and 50 percent humidity). I got to work with the grounds crew, hang with the clubhouse manager, rub baseballs with mud, explore the entire stadium, and check out stuff that I'd never seen before. Ever see a baseball cleaning machine? (Neither had I.)
Huge thanks to the Isotopes for welcoming me to the stadium, and thanks to everyone for watching -- this video was filmed on May 31, 2018.

[@richardelmes984]

It is about time that a team asked you to see behind the scenes!!! MLB take note. Zack I am glad that teams are starting to realize what an ambassador to the game you are. Great job.

[@zackhample]

Thanks so much. I would looooove to do this at some MLB stadiums.

They really need to have a youtube awards show of some kind. Music, film, tv, plays/theater get their own award shows. It would be nice for youtube to have one. You would definately be in the running for "youtuber of the year." Your content is great and informative. Content is more important than fancy camera angles, corny music, or slick editing. Or at least have a category for "sports youtuber."

[@zackhample]

Thanks so much! That means a lot to me -- maybe someday.

[@colddinosaur9321]
