MAGICAL EXPERIENCE at the MLB "Field of Dreams" game in Iowa
How did I get free tickets? What was it like in the corn? How close did I get to Kevin Costner? Was the apple pie hot dog any good? This entire day was EPIC and I owe a huge thanks to Chevrolet for everything they provided, including a 2021 Chevy Tahoe SUV for my road trip from Chicago to the Field of Dreams site in Dyersville, Iowa. If you like the shirt I was wearing, grab one for yourself here: https://www.zackhample.com/merch Want to see the full/original Chevy commercial that I (badly) attempted to sing? Here's you go: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqweygy9K9Y Anyway, this game between the Chicago White Sox and New York Yankees took place on August 12, 2021, and MY GOD there was lots of action. Aaron Judge hit two home runs. Brett Gardner and Giancarlo Stanton also went yard, along with Jose Abreu, Eloy Jimenez, and Seby Zavala -- and then Tim Anderson finished the night with a dramatic walk-off shot. Other than the game itself, I had an incredible time checking out the Field of Dreams movie site. Show them some love on Instagram (@fieldofdreamsmoviesite) and definitely visit someday in person if you have the opportunity. Batting practice was also fun but massively challenging given the fact that there were NO SEATS in fair territory. Double-thanks to Rob Brantly (@robert.brantly) for tossing me two baseballs while the Yankees were hitting. Thanks to celebrity chef Guy Fieri for his newest culinary invention, to actor Dwier Brown for the mid-game selfie, and to Bradley from the Field of Dreams operations staff for helping me out with special access during the game. Thanks to Fenway Chris for filming and thanks to Major League Baseball for making all of this happen. Why not also give some thanks to W.P. Kinsella, author of the timeless and brilliant novel "Shoeless Joe" which was the basis/inspiration for the movie "Field of Dreams." Finally, thanks to YOU for watching this very long video from my 61st MLB stadium. Much love and please subscribe!
WILD DAY in the brand new HOME RUN SEATS at Dodger Stadium
Free unlimited food, digging through garbage for a baseball, and getting paid a ridiculous amount of money to do WHAT? This game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Colorado Rockies was nuts! Shoutout to SeatGeek for sponsoring this video. When you buy tickets from them, use the promo code ZACK to get $20 off your first order of $30 or more. Download the app here: https://seatgeek.onelink.me/RrnK/ZACK If you get a chance to sit in the new Home Run Seats at Dodger Stadium, definitely take advantage. The whole section has been renovated, and it's SUPER fun. My favorite thing about being there is how easy it is to catch baseballs (wait 'til you see how many I got during batting practice), but the whole experience is tremendous. I got pretty close to Clayton Kershaw and Cody Bellinger, chased baseballs hit by Justin Turner and Albert Pujols, explored the new area underneath and behind the pavilions, hung out with my weird friends, and autographed some guy's arm. Do you like the shirt I was wearing? Get one for yourself here: https://www.zackhample.com/merch Huge thanks to my friend Matt for the generous hookup and congrats to him for robbing me of a BP homer. Did you notice he was wearing a GoPro at the time? If you want to see that footage, check out his YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBPQun8SLrKQv1Cd93V1byA This game took place on July 23, 2021. It was filmed by "Fenway Chris," and it was edited by . . . me! Thanks for watching and an even bigger thanks if you made it all the way through. Phew!
My seats were so good that the PLAYERS blocked my view at Target Field
SO MUCH FREE FOOD and seats so close to the field that I could almost reach out and touch the players. Day 2 for me at Target Field was a "Watch With Zack" game, and despite the awful weather, we had a whole lot of fun. I was with a couple of kids named Cole and Caden (ages 8 and 9) along with their father, Rich, who hooked things up in the fanciest area of the stadium. And of course I was with my videographer "Fenway Chris" who captured all the action. This game featured a GREAT pitching matchup: José Berríos for the Minnesota Twins vs. Carlos Rodón for the Chicago White Sox, and given the fact that we were sitting closer to the White Sox dugout, it was great to see so many of their players up close including Adam Eaton, Yoán Moncada, José Abreu, Leury García, Andrew Vaughn, and Billy Hamilton. And their Hall-of-Fame manager, Tony La Russa, was also very close to us as well. If you're interested in doing a "Watch With Zack" game with me, read these FAQs before you get in touch: https://www.zackhample.com/watch-with-zack-faq If you're interested in everything I ate during this video, here's a complete list: risotto herb-roasted strip loin pork tenderloin & butternut squash jerk shrimp with lemon rice & pineapple salsa pink grapefruit chicken salad brie & dried fig strawberry mousse with red velvet cake & strawberry gelée ice cream with Reese's Pieces, crushed Butterfinger & caramel sauce yogurt pretzels gummy candy Total calories consumed at the stadium: 2,500? Maybe? That fancy area, FYI, is called the Champions Level, and I highly recommend it. Shout-out to the Twins for doing "Pride Night" and much love to the LGBTQ community. This video was filmed on July 6, 2021. Thanks for watching!
DON’T SIT HERE if you’re scared of foul balls! WILD DAY of GoPro footage at Sahlen Field
From the bloopers outside the stadium to the AMAZING hookup I got after the game, this video has it all! I was at Sahlen Field in Buffalo, NY to watch the Toronto Blue Jays take on the Baltimore Orioles. My videographer wasn't with me so I filmed all the action myself with a GoPro. Is it possible to get baseballs outside the stadium? YES!! But watch out for cars speeding past toward the highway. Were the Orioles still being cool to me? YES!! Wait 'til you see what they gave me. Did Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hit a home run? Duh, obviously. How did I get screwed over by a tree? Luck was NOT on my side early on (but ohhhhh how quickly things can change). After snagging a whole bunch of baseballs during batting practice, I explored more of the stadium, ended up in the second deck, made an epic catch on a foul ball during the game, and got invited into a suite with free food. That's why this video is more than 20 minutes long. Fun stuff kept on happening. Shout-out to the Blue Jays grounds crew for being amazing. Follow them on TikTok: @jayscrew Shout-out to Tim Cossins, Anthony Sanders, and Ben Carhart from the Orioles coaching staff for being among the friendliest and most generous people in MLB that I've ever met. Follow Ben on Instagram: @bpcben1121 Here's a list of all the baseballs I snagged over the course of the day: 1) Blue Jays home run during batting practice; retrieved outside the stadium under a fence with a device lent by a gentleman named Zac (@CarpePila on Twitter in case you wanna show him some love) 2) fungo hit by Orioles 1st base coach Anthony Sanders 3) tossed by Orioles catcher Austin Wynns 4) thrown by Orioles pitcher Jorge Lopez 5 ) handed to me by a groundskeeper 6) handed to me by a different groundskeeper 7) thrown by Orioles 3rd base coach Tony Mansolino 8) foul ball hit by Pedro Severino off Alek Manoah on an 0-2 pitch with no outs in the top of the 3rd inning; the 31st different MLB stadium at which I've gotten a foul ball during a game 9) thrown after the game by home plate umpire Edwin "Don't Call Me Mister" Moscoso 10) thrown by Orioles 1st base coach Anthony Sanders Let's talk about lineup cards for a moment, shall we? I've gotten dozens of them over the years (though only a few in YouTube videos), and you can see them all on this page on my website: https://www.zackhample.com/lineupcards If you want a closeup of the one I got in Buffalo, you can either scroll down to the bottom of the page I just linked to (I have all the lineup cards there in chronological order) or click here: https://bit.ly/3jFbiua And now here's where I always mention the date that the video was filmed. It should be obvious based on the lineup card, but in case you missed it, it was June 25, 2021 (which happens to be my mom's birthday, so the lineup card is even more meaningful for that reason). And finally, thanks for watching and please subscribe!

Shoutout to the Seattle Mariners for being so generous. Shoutout to "Fenway Chris" for filming. Many thanks to Detroit News reporter Frank Donnelly and photographer Robin Buckson. The shirt I wore in this video was clearly good luck. Pick one up for yourself here: https://www.zackhample.com/merch Thanks for watching and tell your friends to subscribe!
FOUR FOUL BALLS in one game?! Haters getting triggered by our INSANE LUCK at Comerica Park
This was truly crazy. You have to see it to believe it. I've been to more than 1,800 MLB games and never had a night like this. I knew that the pitching matchup would make it extra fun to chase foul balls behind home plate. Both starters (Matthew Boyd for the Detroit Tigers and Marco Gonzales for the Seattle Mariners) were fly-ball pitchers; according to their stats, they were more likely than average to get batters to swing underneath the ball, but OH MY GOD it ended up being much better than I thought. There was so much action, and the kid I brought to the game -- a recent high school grad named Mitch -- went absolutely nuts. So yeah, this was officially a "Watch With Zack" game. As I mentioned at the end of the video, here are some FAQ's that explain how it all works -- if you want to attend a game with me, please read this before you get in touch: https://www.zackhample.com/watch-with-zack-faq Want to see a list of all the "Watch With Zack" games that I've ever done, along with detailed stats for all the baseballs that were snagged? Stadiums? Dates? Totals/records? Check this out: https://www.zackhample.com/watch-with-zack-stats-records Follow Mitch on Instagram: @mitchellmmollison Follow me on Instagram: @zack_hample This video was filmed by "Fenway Chris" on June 8, 2021 at Comerica Park. I did all the editing. And Mitch, as you saw, did most of the catching. Yow! Thanks for watching and please subscribe. :)
