How did THIS USHER rescue a HISTORIC home run ball at Kauffman Stadium?

- Fun fact: if a baseball lands in water, it will sink fast. That's what almost happened when MLB's No. 1 prospect, Bobby Witt Jr., cranked his 1st career home run to left-center field in Kansas City. That ball, potentially worth a ton of money someday (and obviously already meaningful to Witt himself), ended up in the fountain behind the seats. Thankfully it was scooped out quickly by a longtime usher named Mel, who happens to be extremely friendly and told me all about it.
Our conversation took place near the all-you-can-eat tent behind the batter's eye in center field, and yes I had access! There was a long rain delay (with very little rain), so I took advantage by eating A LOT and filming my silly friends doing silly things.
What other nonsense took place over the course of the day? How many home runs did the Toronto Blue Jays hit? How did Bo Bichette and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. break my heart? Will did the Royals kick all the fans out of the 100 Level seats during batting practice? (Yes, that actually happened.)
Do you like the shirt I was wearing? If so, you can get one here on my website:

This video was filmed by "Fenway Chris" (@yonnernyc) on June 6, 2022, and it was edited by Zac Gutherman (@zg_films). Shoutout to my friend Robby aka "Yost Malone" (@yost_malone1) for being a good sport, and thanks to YOU for watching.
Zach sounded so calm during batting practice. Zack thanks for being so nice your the best

Ahhhh😊, the dynamic trio is back, Zack, Yost, and Chris.
I really appreciate the play-by-play description throughout the video. Thank you.
Awesome to hear from the usher that caught Witt Jr’s first HR.
Glad you liked it and thanks as always for watching.
Zack. I’m getting weird replies telling me to text to claim prizes?? Idk if that’s on your end or mine?? Just a heads up.
Love it when Fenway Chris is with you and he downs a Beer every video, Great food to dine on. Still having fun can be a pain.
Nice camera Fenway Chris called "The Money Maker". Nice interview with the Usher.
That is my favorite place to sit at Kaufmann! It's so cool you're so close you can even talk to the players. They used to be open seating, First come first serve so I'd always get their early and sit there. I remember waving to Aaron Judge and he waved back It was awesome
more yost! the videography is always so good when chris is on the camera
Zack, you inspired me to go to more MLB games and try to get balls. Thank you and keep up the great work!
That's awesome. Good luck and have fun!
@@zackhample Thanks!
What’s up man it’s been a little while, since we’ve last commented on one of your videos! Thanks for doing what you do, by helping to share the love and passion of baseball. We will catch up with you soon at a stadium ✌🏻
Yo! Sounds great and you're very welcome.
That usher seemed pretty cool. One of those guys who's humble and worked there forever
He's the best!
Zack,
I've always been a baseball fan my whole life, played growing up, but my passion for sport went a bit way-side in my adult-hood but your videos have kind of re-kindled my feelings of baseball. I went to Mets vs My Dodgers a couple weeks ago and got there right as gates opened to see Mets half of batting practice to try to get a ball. Unfortunately the Mets outfielders refused to throw any balls into the stands which was lame, but it was fun to be there and try to get a BP home run something I hadn't done since I was a little kid. Now I'm going to be trying more and more to get there early when possible at Dodger Stadium and hope I can finally get a game ball.
Thanks for your inspiration!
Wow can I hire you to write my essays? You wrote this awfully quick. But yeah that was lame that the outfielders didn’t throw the ball out into the stands. I’ve never been to a MLB game( though I have been to a Somerset Patriots game a couple times) but I want to go somebody soon, I just have to convince my dad to go through the struggle of going to the Yankee Stadium.
I love this. Sorry the Mets were crappy but I know you'll find some success soon. 👊
@@zackhample Yeah, Same with my A's
Favorite saying of the vedio " the money maker" thanks again Zack n Fenway Chris another great MLB content.
🎥 💰
That was fun, but I like to think of my beautiful face as the REAL money maker. :p
@@zackhample Yeah, but no CAMERA, no PRETTY FACE???
It was nice meeting you and thank you for the picture Zack!
You’re welcome. :)
Have a great day! Exited for another video. Makes the Monday a little less painful!
Great vid! Jealous of the all you can eat section lol! If only you were at the Yankees - Cubs game Sunday afternoon. 18-4 final score. Lots of action! I almost caught a toss up myself. Hope to see you in the Bronx soon!
Thanks. And ugh, I seem to attend soooo many games with no home runs.
Kc seems like a great stadium to be at. Would love to make it out there one day. Seems like you get alot of action there too
Fenway Chris is awesome! You’re lucky to have him on your team.
Good to have "Fenway Chris" back to enjoy his usual great videography.
Thanks!! 👊
The 3 of you together are a damn hoot and a holler in these videos 😂🙏🏼
dude, i was at that game too! i was sitting in the craft seats in the middle level! just like you, i enjoyed some food during the super long “rain delay”. how neat!?
Zack your videos are awesome I always love them and look forward to them thanks for everything
Fenway Chris is such a great cameraman. I love when he films ur videos!
Thank you!
Love your shirt, Zack! BTW, love your vids!
It was good hanging with you my friend. Next time we need to shot gun some beers!
You are in charge of the alcohol. I will be in charge of overeating.
Patiently waiting to see you post the footage of the home run you caught at Kauffman! Was awesome meeting you
@@paulhanson8770 :D
Benn waiting for this episode! Less gooo!
Nevermind: Thought it was the HR video but still gonna enjoy today's video!
That one's coming soon.
Glad to see you back at The K!
I’ve been watching your vids for the last 3 years love all your vids
Finally my 1st Blue Jays video from ya glad to catch you on my network Sportsnet
Ancient Ballhawk sounds sweet. If you spent half the season at Kauffman i would approve. Yost's content from there is appreciated. I really want to visit but odds are its not happening this year.
Ha. Hope you make it there.
@@zackhample I will someday. I'm convinced its a baseball holy land. Its different.
Your videos cheer me up! Thank you!
Aw man! I was going to be up there next Saturday! Glad you had a good time though!
Great video as always. I’m going to Kauffman Stadium with my grandparents in August when the Red Sox are there! Will be ballpark #19 lifetime for me and will have been to 18/30 current major league ballparks.
@@paulhanson8770 too much to say here. I've been to 21 games at Fenway.
Cool! I hope you have an amazing time.
It's so cool we got to hear the story about that first home run ball and the man, the usher, who retreated it with his net!!!
That ball was important Zack.
The ball meant a lot for different reasons and especially for the man who hit it.🎊🎉🎊🎉
Zack you really netted a good story there. 🥎🥎🥎
Haha, glad you enjoyed it!
We need a beer segment with Fenway Chris every video
Chris would love that. I don’t think Zack would approve that, tho.
Yost is a veteran beer chugger. I drink my beer like a distinguished gentleman.
@@FenwayChris I didn’t say you need to chug it I just want a ballpark beer review
@@410kingkong I’d be up for that. Taste test the local beers in each city/stadium. Great idea!
11:39 freaking horror movie coming right up lmfaooo
I wish I could go to a baseball game and say that three baseballs is upsetting. Good video as always zack!
Aww, I hear ya.
That was insane I was one of the kids in the Yellow Jerseys
Thanks Zack
Another awesome video! Fenway Chris is the best lol.
No offense to all your other videographers but Fenway Chris is the best. Makes me laugh and seems more relaxed 😌
He’s amazing.
Thank you man! 👊 I appreciate it. We have a really great group of talented fill in’s when I’m unavailable.
@@FenwayChris they don’t drink on the job like you do tho, no fun. 😂😂😂😂
He is quite skilled for sure.
I saw the Kansas City Royals on Saturday when they played Baltimore and very sloppy game by the Royals an error and a wild pitch costed them the game. Witt Merrifield's walk up song is Tequilla by The Champs and the stadium ushers started "Let's Go Royals" chant regardless of the team batting.
awsome zack i hole i get to meet you in person you are easily my favorite youtuber
oops i meant hope not hole
I hope you get to. Zack’s such an amazing guy!
@@rivergordee1137 Thanks!
Please go to Wrigley on the 17th! I’m going to be there and really want to meet you Zack!
You should come on over to Seattle! Batting practice is always great
I’ve been a subscriber for this whole season and I watched the “zack hample vs the world” trailer and don’t let the that have been mean stop you. I’m counting on you and I really want you to get 15,000! Good luck.🍀
Zack is the man who inspired me to be a ballhawk at Dehler Park for the billings mustangs in the pioneer league
:D
Zack makes the best baseball videos
I can’t believe you missed out on two home runs. I feel your pain having never snagged a home run or a foul ball. And the one time I should have I was walking back to my seat and didn’t get there in time at Fenway when someone on the A’s hit a home run into the right field seats in 25% capacity last May. Oh man.
UGGGGGHHHHH
Cool long range shots is that what we’re callin ‘‘em now Fenway Chris lololol
Haha! I like it! C.L.R.S!
Loved the Burnt Ends at that Stadium.
At least you caught one on the game of the week on YT!
He Zach,
I really love your videos Zach and I have been a fan of you for a while now so question when will you go to Citi field next?
Zack I have actually caught two in game home run balls this season. Two in one game! It was a Mets vs giants game and got a Joc pederson and Francisco Lindor homer both on Levi’s landing in right field.
They had carnitas with the nachos??? Now I'm trying go there 🤣
We may have a horrible team in Kansas City but one thing we do have is dam good food
I was at the game the day after that game I wish I would have ran into you that would have made my day
Good to see Fenway Chris and Yost enjoy a nice cold one
Miller though……🤢
Miller High Life is ok but light beers are terrible. They taste like pisswater. I call it Miller Low Life lol
Glove trick worked for me at Chase field tonight! Thanks Zack.. When are you coming back to AZ. Lots of room to roam with such a mediocre squad
Such a cool stadium
Zack, other names on that ball that my father had are, Al Clark, Joe DiMaggio, Lou Burdette, Don Sutton, Bobby Brown, Early Wynne, George Kell Umpire, Robbin Roberts, Catfish Hunter, Brooks Robinson, and Mark Wohlers
Cool!
13:00 hey we got some people that know how to have a good time!
Facts ahah
I just bought my tickets for CLEVELAND!! JUNE 26TH 1:40PM...I hope you make it. VS RED SOX
Are you going to go to Great American Ballpark this year if yes what is the date you are going? I live about 45 minutes away from Cincinnati!
Nice to see some blue jays fans out there! Go Jays Go!
Hey Zack!! U need to try the bullpen burger. I work in that section and a lot of people order that!!
Wow Zack that sky at 9:29 looked pretty cool, I love a dark sky when it's all calm like that. If the pitch was at 9 o'clock did a lot of people leave? That would be a late game I would think. Oh and why would that player throw the ball into the stands if it was a 1st HR did he not think it would of been nice to give it to him? What was the deal with that?
Hey Zack love the vids you are a inspiration
Have a great and blessed dayI will pray for you
Another Dope Video

Shoutout Fenway Chris

Hey, just so you know, I don't think you're old. 😁
Go to Chicago this upcoming weekend for the cubs vs braves game
Can you go to the Guardians VS Yankees game on July 1st
Hi zack great video love it You have merch you should sell some baseballs that you catch as merch
Zack has never sold a baseball.
@@aidanfinkofficial I know it’s just a suggestion
You have to respect the rules each ball park has and the effort is definitely noticed… but how do you open the field for batting practice and not allow people to chase the balls? Anyway. Another great video. Thanks for your positive attitude dude as always. You do so much for the sport. You’re for sure going into the hall of fame… we will make it happen trust us fans lol
Thank YOU for the very nice comment. Hall of Fame?!?! Hard to imagine that.
Hey zack I’m going to a braves vs angles game at the
Braves stadium in July
A good day when Zack Uploads
Yes indeed.
@@aidanfinkofficial the famous Fenway Aidan Fink
@@BC_14 hahaha yup!
Could you do a cup trick tutorial please Zach?
LOL no way that’s my quote at 14:28
Yes may the baseball's be flying at the fans
Hey zack love all your vids keep it up
Yost molone demolished that beer lol he gotta be in more videos
When are you coming to Globe Life Field Zack?

This is a correct statement.
Ah this improves my mood🙂I originated today 16,436 days ago...I'm youthfully mature. Hamps (had to do it) you know about that!
Haha. :)
Hi Zack, I know you won’t see this, but I’m turning into a Hawk aswell, I was on an LA trip and got 9 baseballs! I hope I can see more videos, take care
Man you sit in the section where all the homers go. I've only seen on homerun in my section in front of the Royals bullpen. Lucky duck
Hey Zack on July 1st I will be in Minnesota for a twins vs orioles. I was wondering if you would be at that game because I would love to meet you.
Zack*
Hi Zack!!! Are you going to yankees astros on the 25th???
Nah, I'll be flying back from a stadium in another time zone that day.
Nice love your channel Can you tell how Chris got the job in the MLB I would love a job with them. Please help me
Pro tip- Apply online.
Bro literally caught a homerun ball the next game😂
I was at Kauffman Stadium yesterday!
You’re such a baseball fan your eyes have wrinkles from squinting at the sun so long
@@mattm3656 NO WAY I THOUGHT HE WAS 30
@@mattm3656 that’s even more crazy he only has eye wrinkles and the rest of his face looks super young. Just shows he’s always looking up and has been for so long
Your videos are the best
Your comment is correct.
Can you please go to Citi Field?
Maybe later this week.
Love to see it
When will u be at Citi Field?
Very soon, I think.
@@zackhample Tomorrow?
Fenway Chris is such a goofball!
He's the best.
Indeed!
WOO my Blue Jays kickin' some ass ! =D
I watched the Wednesday game on UA-cam which the MLB aired live on UA-cam and we were chatting about you Zack in the livestream
2:50 This guy thinks he works for Real Madrid or Liverpool the way he is dressed. You're in Kansas City cleaning balls from the gap my dude. Lol
5:50 i hope that guy in the background was just joking around lol people are so obnoxious. they're mad they can't eat that delicious food.
