Zack Hample

Zachary Ben Hample (born September 14, 1977) is an American baseball collector. Hample claims to have collected more than 12,000 baseballs from Major League stadiums, including Alex Rodriguez's 3,000th career hit and Mike Trout's first career home run. Hample has been heavily criticized by sportswriters, players, and fans due to his aggressive tactics to collect baseballs.
