Eye To Eye With Katie Couric: Zack Hample (CBS News)

[mattrules924]

Thanks to Zack, I snagged 3 baseballs at last nights red sox game

[irishhockey81]

Ya great.. way to use your elbows sir.

[famzao]

this guy's a fucking loser. he needs to get a new hobby..... like drugs

[BulletProof1197]

@famzao you need a better hobby...like having a life.

[andrewvrodriguez]

You guys are such haters. You guys are just butthurt that you suck ass at baseball and getting balls at baseball games.

He raises money for charities and gives balls to kids that most likely wouldn't have caught the balls anyways. Grow the fuck up.

[iKeyboard15]

really guys? he just is having fun- and so what if his way of having fun is different from yours? FUCK OFF! if you don't like this guy why are you watching it assholes??

[Spiderman3rox]

@woodmountain68 ur totally on the money about this guy. i didnt even know about this douchebag until i went to a mets game and saw the shit he pulled and my friend told me thats the ass hole with 4000 balls and i didnt believe him until i researched about him. this guy needs to be forbidden from MLB parks. The PA announcers say that disorderly fans should be removed. next time i see him, ill tell the security guard and/or punch the guy in his face

[Spiderman3rox]

btw, he charges $500 to the morons who want to go to a game with him (and this $ goes in his pocket, not towards his "charity") i also read his blog. he does give balls away, but he gives away two of the more undesirable balls out of the 15 he snagged throughout the game using his immature methods (ie the forbidden glove trick/changing hats and jerseys). Worst of all is that he steals someones opportunity to experience the thrill that goes with catching the ball, and that can never be replaced

[Spiderman3rox]

i personally hate this jackass. first, he doesnt donate any of his THOUSANDS of balls for his "charity."second, he technically doesnt run over kids or pry balls out of their hands, but he reaches over them or runs around them and is able to get to the ball clearly intended for them when a player throws it (ive witnessed this)he is a spoiled brat with no job, who has no life, lives with his parents who pays for his tickets and other expenses that go with his loony hobby.

[BulletProof1197]

@Spiderman3rox Ahem. First of all Fuck face, im sure you've never witnessed this. Your comment is a classic case of "oh im to jealous so i'll rip him over the internet." Clearly, you havent read his blog because he does have a life, he has a girlfriend, he probably makes more money than you ever would in your sad little life, and he gets more attention than you would by your friends and family, if you even have any.

[OrangePossum]

@woodmountain68 Read the top comment and realize your stupidity.

[OrangePossum]

@woodmountain68 You sir, cannot detect sarcasm. Notice how right after that, he says "no..." and it cuts him off, so he doesn't get to explain what he will really do.

I suggest you unplug your computer from your modem immediately and smash a sledgehammer into the side of it to avoid spewing your stupidity all over the internet.

[Koorice]

wow.......i bet he lives with his parents

[Three1Bravo]

The guy is 32 years old and possibly the biggest loser on the face of the planet.

[OrangePossum]

@Three1Bravo And here you are sitting on youtube commenting on how much of a "loser" he is.

Re-evaluate your own life before ridiculing others, please.

[Three1Bravo]

@OrangePossum Ok, I just reevaluated my life and yup, he's still a loser.

[OrangePossum]

@Three1Bravo You read the top comment too. He doesn't do this because he's a "loser", he loves baseball and gives to charity. GOD FORBID someone have a hobby that you don't have.

[WEGSxIRISH]

what a loser. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! "Way to use your elbow sir!!" The guy needs to grow up.

[GoBlueJays100]

This guy is a douche

[StraightCash081]

@GoBlueJays100 blue jays suck ass

[yexey]

His language skills suck

[fkylw]

This guy gives balls to kids and raises money for charities with his talent. You should all know this.

[novaboy14]

citizens bank park is never that empty when i go and i get there right when the gates open at like 4:35

[meikd423]

personally knowing him, this video can make him look like a douche. trust me, he is NOT really like this. this is just bad video of him. a lot of them at games are. but hes really cool when not at a game. like, SOOOO much more chill

[THEALLSTARMLB2009]

I read his blog on MLBLOGS.Supposdily cole hamels got mad cuz he kept asking for a ball shown here 3:29

[cwecub]

this cutie was on Conan the other night..i'd like to catch HIS balls in my mouth

[TheSasha555]

Zach steals baseballs from little kids. This guys a prick!

[deathcloud33]

@TheSasha555 What's your source?

[Stock350ii]

@TheSasha555 No, he doesnt you dicklicker. Zack is a fan like anyone else. I hate you fuckers that think kids deserve the baseballs over anyone else. Kids dont even appreciate baseballs when they get them. They end up at the bottom of their toybox or they let the fucking family dog have them. Fuck you, Sasha.

[pynal]

Here's hoping that he catches ball #3001 with his face...

[sweepkeep14]

4:01

[iKeyboard15]

this guy is awesome

[horsesflu]

The Goronchev of ball catching

[therealpantherfan]

beast

[RdSoxFan618]

The gesture he makes at 1:40 is classic.

[SteamrolledBanana]

I will give this man my balls in his face.

[scrum7]

i met him. he is one of the lowest, most despicable scumbags on the planet.... he will do anything, be it push a kid or step on an old man to get a ball

[JeffThunder]

i witnessed him push a little girl into a rail and he didn't even get the ball

[FFXSUCKED]

He ate a baby once, 5th inning.

[Stock350ii]

@scrum7 Youre wrong, turdnugget. I can defend Zack all fucking day. Hes out at the stadiums catching baseballs that gives money to charity. When is the last time you did something nice for people you dont even know?

[Stock350ii]

@scrum7 Incorrect. He doesnt do that.

[wet501]

What a douche nozzle!

[vulgarvince]

you should learn to say "im addicted to balls! its some sort of medical condition.." in 27 different languages. im pretty sure youll start getting twice your average balls per game.

[ruggles222]

What a complete and total douchbag. Words fail me.

[geffrod]

CBS correspondant looks like he's pretty toasty from beer, lol. There is no other way to go through baseball unless you're crazy like that guy.

[mbHotdog]

Everyone has their thing, this is his.

And he enjoys it so I say good luck dude

[MrQ1989]

well said

[mockduckcompanion]

"Way to use your elbows sir." lol

[jeffdridge2003]

he may be a douchebag...but he was pretty spot on with one of his statements...he most certainly is special.

[Partofthequeue14]

"I wrote a book about getting balls"

[wantrum]

wow. someone needs a girlfriend.

[luckado]

based on this video, the chances of him snagging a girlfriend is slim to none.

[wantrum]

or him shagging a girl might be even less than that

[luckado]

:golf clap: well played sir, well played :)

[andy1004800]

i think he has a girlfriend

[DrMattDestruction]

since you care so much... you want to give him one?

or if you're attracted to him... you know what to do.

[wantrum]

lame

[DrMattDestruction]

backatchya.

[gopandthecity]

He wrote a book "on how to get balls". Classic

[OboeCop]

Shorty, I think you are dead on. Thsi guy is a borderline Aspie

[ShortyLongstrokin]

Not douche -- Aspie. People with Aspberger's syndrome usually come off as douchebags, so I can understand the confusion.

[mistahtom]

This, ladies and gentlemen, is the textbook definition of a DOUCHE.

[soccerlover1598]

Definitely. He's got no life. And he sounds kinda gay.

[meikd423]

he sounds gay, ha. says the guy with the name "soccer lover". haha what a joke. this guys a friend of mine and let me tell you, when hes not at the games, he's so fucking different. he has a girlfriend too, just so you know

[JoeChin]

Congratulations on getting the last ball from Shea Stadium, jerk.

[Stock350ii]

@JoeChin What the fuck is your problem? Are you upset because your lame ass couldnt catch it? Thats what it sounds like. JoeChin, youre the classic hater that hates on everyone that does shit better than you.

[cheaterpatrol001]

rock on, he is way more harmless than Bush

[KVonnegut]

If the guy takes the time to learn sign language so he can ask the 1 guy in the MLB that's 95% hearing impaired for a ball, then he deserves to get it. Fuck the little deaf bastard behind him who didn't think to throw up some signs before this guy did.

[marleyinoc]

lol, the kid has charisma for sure, and while he is a little over the top in his obsession, this was a great segment and he aced it - now had he only left that frickin' ball alone in the O's series...

[phuckingkunt]

He talks about how good it feels to catch the ball. Why doesn't he give away his 3000 freakin balls to kids ?  Or kids who are dying ? Then he could get some media attention for not being obsessive and weird :p

[Stock350ii]

@phuckingkunt Hey fuckface, thats exactly what hes doing. Every ball he catches at a game someone donates money to charity. Pull your fucking head out of your ass and look around before you comment something stupid on Youtube. Also, why dolittle kids deserve baseballs over anyone else? Youre just a worthless jealous prick that couldnt catch a ball if it was toss to you five feet away. Fuck your mother.

[phuckingkunt]

@Stock350ii

Come back when you're not in the closet sonny jim :D

[KrazyOtto]

Major League Dooshbag

[damitdan]

The kid's OK in my book. He's not hurting anybody, and he's getting cheap thrills just like the rest of us enjoy.

[andy1004800]

he's not a kid, he's 31

[CleverUserName2]

This is not a baseball fan. This is a man with some sore of mental/emotional impediment. He has my pity. And my foul ball.

[moeistheirleader]

Asperger's Anyone?

[GringoGad]

i wrote about getting balls

[Xello998]

He's special all right.

[slutter88]

Check out the video at 2:07.

"I wrote a book about getting balls."

/ambiguous?

[rha101]

He's not just a fan, he is a nut.

[StealinUrCar06]

Thats the guy who caught the 2 hr's at the yankees last games

[uppr]

AND the last one at Shea...

A whole thing on yahoo today about him

[aftermath4515]

what a fag. wow.

[GForce0485]

[skmdmb17]

This guy is a massive douche...give the ball to a kid and just grow up

[oxcide101]

[GForce0485]

[jpc800]

[petebeskid16]

way to use your elbow

[b4hsleepy]

LOL man that was funny a grown man saying that. Its pretty fun doing wat they do though

[mycubseason2008]

Good video, he reminds me of local guy named Rambo in Chicago at Wrigley Field. It is a thrill to get a ball and MLB does a good job and getting them out to the fans. I have many clips on my channel of people getting balls.

[wistac123]

thats pure luck! Oh just to tell everyone......... I am Chris Carpenter, the pitcher for the Cardinals. If anyone wnats my auctograph just give me youre address and i'll get back to you as soon as possible!

[webbleking1]

[sandrewcomet]

Are you kidding me? As if that is any kind of a achievement!

[comedyguy21]
