DeepDickPizza posted:Ahahaha. Watching Hample get raked over the coals for this is going to be hilarious. He claimed his friend took him to the game, as the friend was going to take his girlfriend but she "doesn't like baseball" so he took Hample instead. Also he's trying to stave off the controversy by writing an $1,100 check to AMVETS. Which, good cause and all, but you know drat well he doesn't write that check if people don't flip out.

I'm glad I made peace with dying without ever seeing the Cubs do it because otherwise I'd be disappointed. Congrats to the Cardinals on their Central title though. Fire Theo, let him win with a real baseball team.

So this Hample guy is just some idiot who goes to games for the sole purpose of catching as many baseballs as possible? And he employed a variety of dumb tactics to get into a game exclusively for military just so he could get a baseball? Just bum around the area and buy a loving ball after the fact. I'm sure he could have gotten one for less than the $1000 he was apparently willing to offer for a ticket, and he wouldn't have stuck his rear end in a seat that could have gone to an armed services member or their families. What is wrong with people

He claims he's gotten more than 9,000 in his life and has written a book sharing his tips and tricks to getting them. He claimed he got 11 tonight alone. He's also been known to snatch the balls out of the hands of kids on numerous occasions. It's like this guy wraps up his self worth in the amount of baseballs he's able to get.

Who is buying a book on how to catch a foul ball? Those are the people with real problems. I got about a dozen rec league baseballs at my apartment, maybe I should sell them on Ebay since people don't realize you can just buy these loving things.

~Major League Baseball Baseball Gathering Tips~ -buy an entire section to yourself! -see a baseball hit the seats in batting practice that grandma is going over to give to her grandchild? Horse-collar tackle the bitch! That's your baseball because YOU want it more! -see a player flipping a baseball to a small child at the end of the inning? Give the kid a free life lesson and elbow the little poo poo in the teeth! -wrap up your entire self worth in the number of baseball touched by major leaguers you own! Who gives a gently caress if you legitimately cannot remember the circumstances in which you caught 97% of them! Eventually your mommy and your daddy will love you if you bring home enough baseballs!

I don't understand memorabilia in general. What am I going to do with this foul ball, exactly? I'm probably biased because I live in a tiny apartment, but still.

Zachary Ben Hample (born September 14, 1977) is a Major League baseball collector. He is known for bribing his way into a military-only baseball game at Fort Bragg to collect baseballs. It is amazing how many bigtime home run balls he has caught. A-Rod's 3000th hit, Trout's first home run, last homer ever at Shea (Beltran).

the only acceptable way to get a foul ball is to catch it in the air or on a big bounce or to hypothetically let's say have it bounce on the concourse right in front of you after a rain delay at kaufmann stadium after you've gotten out of the toilet.

Caught two foul balls in my lifetime, one was from Yoenis Cespedes at Comerica Park and the other was at a minor league game that went 18 innings.

Ideally the ball lands in your beer as you are chatting with a friend and then you chug said beer with ball still in the cup.

The only foul ball I've gotten is a Miguel Cabrera liner that hit me square on the knee at a spring training game in 07. I keep it on my desk like Captain Sisko now. Some guy at the Rays game today made TV by sliding on top of a tarped-off party section to grab a ball. An usher gave him a long talk and he got escorted out while the crowd booed.

I was nearly drilled by a screaming Carney Lansford foul ball in the early 1990's in Milwaukee. It hit the empty seat across the aisle from me and bounded down the stairs. That was as close as I ever came. i'm like foul ball repellent.

My uncle and my cousin are both Rockies fans, and my cousin(who's like 8 or something) cried when they traded Tulowitzki. Then they went to the Toronto series at Coors this year and he caught a foul ball Tulo hit and it was extremely  If only Zack Hample had been there to prevent this

I've never come within 10 seats of a foul ball, I don't sit in good sections to get ones though. Another friend averages like 1 every other game because he is in an area that gets foul liners, pop ups and players flipping balls into stands.

Baseball, if they don't ban Hample, needs to let fans cover him like a football backfield, just in his way and breaking up catches at all times.

In the interest of seeing the cascading effects of singular trades, I'm curious if there is any sort of centralized info for historical data on trade timelines. Maybe something like this here. Almost like family tree-type thing.
