Before working at Pitch In For Baseball, I never thought I’d get the opportunity to meet some of my idols growing up. My first week on the job I was told I needed to call Zack Hample, ballhawk of all ballhawks and awesome author. I remember as a twelve year old boy reading his book entitled How to Snag Major League Baseballs. During that phone call I realized Zack was a normal guy…a normal guy that’s snagged 5,819 baseballs at Major League ballgames.
This past summer I had the pleasure of meeting Zack, along with his family, during a visit to our warehouse in Pennsylvania. I was asked if I didn’t mind being on camera for a Korean documentary. Of course I didn’t shy away from the limelight and relished the opportunity to have my 15 mins of fame in far away land. Here is what ensued…
Zack is a unique person and the best at what he does. If you do not already follow Zacks blog you are missing out.
