I saw him once in Philly running around all over the place trying to get balls. IIRC, he was even wearing a jersey with his name on it and acting like a celebrity. Kudos to the Rockies usher who put him in his place. https://www.crossingbroad.com/2022/08/rockies-usher-john-hands-zack-hample-another-l.html and more https://www.crossingbroad.com/2022/09/colorado-rockies-usher-expounds-on-viral-zack-hample-encounter.html That Rockies usher is a hero. I saw Zack Hample once at a Reds game 10 or so years ago and I was second hand embarrassed for him. I don't wear a glove to baseball games because I'm an adult in my mid 30's, but if you want to that's your right and it doesn't interfere with anyone else's good time. What does interfere with people's good time is running around to sections you're not ticketed to be in, bumping people out of the way for home run balls, stealing balls from kids, bothering guys on the field/bullpen, and being a general pest to the stadium staff and other fans. Hample thinks the rules don't apply to him and the people I understand the least in sports are Zack Hample defenders. The Rockies usher did the right thing. Hample threw a temper tantrum* and then made a video about it trying to paint himself as the victim and the semi-retired 70 year old usher who's just enforcing the rules as some cranky jerk drunk on power. What Hample didn't show is that the guy asked him several times not to run in the handicapped seating area and several times Hample ignored him. If I'm ever at a game and I see that dude I'm boxing him out like Dennis Rodman. *I'm not a psychologist, but any 45 year old man obsessed with catching baseballs and who acts like that reads a little uhhhh...."neurodivergent", if you get my drift. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kooky01 Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 Can't say i've seen much of Mr. Hample, but from what i've heard, he seems like a shmuck who just wants views on Youtube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a side note, jeez, seeing a player who made his major league debut the same year you were born do that makes you feel pretty dang old.

I got to see #699 then I figured I had a little time before he came up to bat again. Walked back into the room just in time...to see him celebrating #700. But yeah, having the game on Apple TV didn't do MLB fans any favors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8BW14 Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 I’m so happy for Albert. This season has been a fun ride and I couldn’t imagine any scenario where he would get to 700 when the season began. I just wish I could have seen it live. I’ve got two kids under 4 and West coast games start after my bedtime and if we’re being totally honest here, I didn’t expect him to hit one, let alone two dingers the way the offense has been sputtering lately. It would have been awesome for Albert to do it at home, can’t wait til next Sunday when I get to see him in person and Busch one last time. It’s been amazing to see him come full circle with the Cardinals and remind everyone else how great he really is. We all forgot about Pujols in LA and he did fall off a cliff. I do wonder, if he had stayed in STL, with a club that isn’t apparently dysfunctional and incompetent, if the second half of his career would have been better. He might be the HR king himself? Doesn’t matter though, that’s not how it went. I grew up watching the Cardinals every day and Pujols was my hero. He was unstoppable for 10 years and I cried like a baby on my girlfriend’s shoulder (who is now my wife) at 17 years old when he left and I was angry for quite a while. I got to see him come back to St Louis in 2019 and the ovation in person was incredible. I love baseball and I’m so happy we have all been reminded of the greatness of Albert Pujols because he deserves this after the lost years with the Angels. sidenote: I hate that it happened in Appletv. That broadcast sucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve been playing baseball since 1869 and only four people have done it, with one (maybe two) being aided by banned substances. 700 is just an insane number. It’d take a special talent to break in at a young age, and stay relatively injury free his whole career against rapidly improving pitching, which isn’t impossible but highly unlikely.

floydnimrod Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 As someone who fell in love with baseball due to the '98 Sosa/McGwire HR chase, this is, to me, the most exciting HR year we've had since then. As someone who didn't like Barry Bonds, I'm somewhat biased here, but the fact that there are two milestones being chased/accomplished makes it more exciting. 1 Quote Mancakes: The Bandhttps://twitter.com/FloydNimrod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen this same sort of comment on Twitter, too, but wasn't the game free? All you had to do was download the app. I get that if you've been following your team on your local RSN all season that this might be annoying, but it seems like a minor inconvenience. By contrast, I'm a cord-cutter that's been blocked from watching the Cardinals here in St. Louis because the RSN isn't available on the service I use. The Apple broadcast was one of the few televised Cardinals games this year that I was able to watch. I do, however, feel bad for the Cardinals' local commentators. Dan McLaughlin had, from what I've been told, been doing a fantastic game of calling the run up to 700. It was a shame he wasn't at the mic during the big moment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
