Many people hope they get a ball when they attend a baseball game. A few lucky people have secured multiple baseballs. Zack Hample has obtained over 10,000 baseballs at 53 different stadiums, and incredibly, this is now his job. Yes, getting baseballs at ballparks is how he makes his living.
In Episode 2 of the "Life Around the Seams" podcast, we trace this incredible journey, from his first ball at Shea Stadium, his first summer as a dedicated ballhawk, the strategy involved in getting Alex Rodriguez's 3,000th hit (a home run), the controversy surrounding negotiations for the ball, how this hobby became his job, why people pay him money to attend a game, and how much longer he can continue as the most famous ballhawk in the country.Listening options:
