Zach Hample and your croonies of ballhawk....

[marino13]

... your days of trespassing at YANKEE stadium - HR area on field level - are numbered. If you know him, let him know -- he is being posterized as we speak.

After tonight incident - after ZACH bypass security to get access and when D. Gregorius' 1st HR landed on some other fans' lap - and he jumped on the fan to get the baseball ... the entire incident was caught on TV and security personnel have been updated of his antics.

Good luck from now on.

The guy that ZACH waved the finger to --- was the boyfriend of the girl that ZACK molest by going after the ball.

He was practically had his hand on her goodies to search for the ball.

Lucky for him that security quickly got him to calm down and escort out of the area before the boyfriend doing some damage.


It is funny when it happened to others, but if that was your girlfriend/daughter being molest (accident or not), it would not be funny after all.

If anything, it would been funnier if Zach got knocked out and the fan picked up the ball and toss it back onto the field.

The headline for that story should say "Annoying tool tooled his way into 2 homerun balls during game"

I mega loathe that guy so much

You and the rest of people who he normally ran OVER to get to the baseballs.


He trespass on the first HR ball - by molesting the female fan while searching for the baseball.

His second HR - actual caught ball - were sponsored.

Re: Zach Hample and your croonies of ballhawk....

I've always been amazed at how many balls some of these guys get... Sure, you can do some research and figure out the areas where a player is most likely to hit the ball, but still....

There's obviously no "clean" way to grab that many baseballs on such a regular basis.

He wasnt just grabbing the first baseball - as you can see the replay on the reaction of the boyfriend who tried to go after the ball.

If it was you and your date or with your family - you might not be as calmed when Zach and the rest of the ballhawks barreling through you to get to the baseball.


Now, in relation to this GUU forum, who would pay for just hearsay HR balls anyway? Since Zach is known for having LOTs of fake/batting practice balls to tossed back onto the field instead of actual HR ball?

Re: Zach Hample and your croonies of ballhawk....

I'm surprised that Ballhawknet hasn't commented on this story, especially seeing the criticism of ballhawks in several posts. Dave D., any thoughts?

Re: Zach Hample and your croonies of ballhawk....

I think everyone who has ever seen a game has hoped to one day catch a ball, a HR no less! I've been at live games every season since 1985 and I have never come close to getting one. I've sat in every section/area of ballparks and yet it is always at least one full section away from me when it lands in the stands.

This guy has "obtained" in person at MLB games, over 6000 baseballs. I by no means feel entitled to have caught one but hearing one guy has gotten so many seems unfair. At what point have you obtained enough "one of a kind" momentos to allow other people to have that experience?

No way. That just screams rip off.

The guys on eBay that put their own "stamp" on balls they caught as a type of authentication crack me up too. Like a stamp from so no name really means anything to anyone that knows anything about buying game used stuff. Those guys are almost as big of a joke as this Hample tool.
