6:18 ... Dave just threw you right into the fire. I have paddled under that thing many times with him and it's almost like a Pirates of the Caribbean tour. Sometimes you can see rats running across the pipeline above you. If you tip over wall under that thing. You'll come out from under one peer and then go under another building. And then you'll come out from over by the Willie McCovey statue. It's really quite an epic adventure
Zach, did you see that walk off HR to the Cove? Dave jumped in the water for that sucker lol. Not the first time and I bet it's not the last. Go Dave and Go Giants! 1st walk off in 2020 for The Giants.
"there's a lot of cold nights in Mccovey cove" anyone that doesn't live in california: "oh please" anyone that lives in canada: "So...can you go skinny dipping?"
Thanks for making these videos. They have inspired me to always show up at batting practice and in both my life and this season, I have caught 3 MLB balls and one minor league ball.
This is something I really like about Zack Hample's videos, he shows you things you never get to see. I've always wondered about the kayakers in Mccovey cove, and now I get to see how it works.
6:39 ... Very nice form there Zack. Not a badd approach either. Paddle up next to the ball, Scoop it with the net. Looks like you do it for a living ⚾️🚣♂️🏊♂️⚾️
ALL RISE !! .... The Judge WILL be holding court this year in San Francisco ! New York Yankees will play in Pac Bell Park ( yes , PAC BELL - you only get to name it ONCE ) April 26th,27th,28th . With a real shot at the Holy Grail for McCovey Cove : A true splash hit into the cove by a right hander . #EPIC I am a Hard Core GIANTS fanatic and would LOVE to see that . ... see ya 'round the batting cage !
@@jarjarbinks4744 What's the wager ? I don't have a dog in this fight - would just like to see a right hander launch one ... since it has not happened yet - the Judge visiting this season should have a good shot at a jack ( on the fly , off the bat , no bounce , straight into the water , that's a true Splash Hit ) into McCovey Cove . I was a season ticket holder from when they opened that yard .... I move out of Cali ... then they start winning it all every other year . #ItNeverFails ! My Pac Bell comment is a snarky clap back against the Powers that Be . This is only the 20th year playing at that park - and this is it's FORTH name . #Weak ... Just like Candlestick - I lost count of those name changes . But for the people who actually went there , it was , and always will be Candlestick . Same for me on Pac Bell Park . But , I'm a : "get off my lawn!" Cranky Pants kind of guy . How old is the ballparks for the Red Sox & the Cubs ? And how many name changes have THEY done ? I rest my case . Thanks for the reply ... what would be a fun bet ? I like the odds ~
I realized I watch too many of Zacks videos when I was kinda worried about his streak going into the game late. I knew he'd somehow keep it going though lol
I think I saw that guy when I was there and he was in the kayak and was getting all the balls that went in the water it wouldn’t have been the same game but I’m pretty sure I saw him
Trevor Story threw my friend a ball 5 years ago at an ABQ Isotopes game. Boy was I jealous, and my friend was a soccer player, and knew nothing about baseball.
It is not the water, we get air blown down from up north but it is known for it being 45 degrees in the morning and then hits 90+ at like mid afternoon
Streak was close to ending in this game. Great scenes from under the peers and how McCovey Cove Dave sees ATT Park. I like how you audio overlay talking about MadBum and Hunter Pence at 13:51. I'm assuming you're just talking about it in the seats, and later in editing you put the audio over them scenes. Or are you recording audio at home/hotel of your video guy's shots?
I've seen BP balls in yankee stadium roll down the net and into monument park before. The area is actually closed during the game so you cant camp out there for a game home run
Richard Elmes iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
used to be Pacbell before it was at&t..My fav. stadium and i'm an A's fan..lol..next time you should take the golden gate ferry from larkspur landing..it takes less than an hour and it drops u off right next to the park 100meters from the gate
You really should have worn a PFD.. it's no joke. With the current and you're inexperience it can get bad real fast, especially if you tipped and weren't able to get back in the kayak.
Dave's voice is so stereotypically Californian that he sounds like he's on that SNL sketch lol
Ted Striker
V
Ha yes! Great call
Wat er u talkin bout stuuuart
Heeeeyyyyyyyyy maaaaayun!
It’s simple he has a high pitch voice
Dave seems awesome! What a cool and unique experience.
Zack is a great ambassador of the sport. His enthusiasm is just so great.
They should scuba dive and see how many baseballs are down there
dallasdodgerblue usually they float or ppl get to them but that would be sick
good idea
Cool how Dave can still get balls even with no fans!
Matthew Baggenstoss ikr
Easily one of your best vids
Harris Highlights Hi! :D
Harris Highlights didn't know you watched these. I'm still gonna be annoying and request a drew lock highlight video

Who else was annoyed by his jacket dragging in the water the whole boat ride
Ryan Cross yes
not me,it's just a jacket, pobably dried fast
didn't bother me as much as the blood sucking finger lol
Zach, did you see that walk off HR to the Cove? Dave jumped in the water for that sucker lol. Not the first time and I bet it's not the last. Go Dave and Go Giants! 1st walk off in 2020 for The Giants.
I’m surprised that no one has scuba dived for the balls bet there are some rare ones down at the bottom of the cove
I think they float.
@@spencergraham-thille9896 some do but most sink
Go to 5:55 in the video, Zack's jacket is in the water !
oh well
I have been to about 10 ballparks with my father who is like 70..im hoping to take the rest in with my 2 boys by the time i am 70..keep rocking guy!!
0:03 McCovey Dave's accent is straight out of The Californians SNL sketch, love it!
What a rad stadium they have in Frisco. I'd love to go some day. This virus crap really has put the bucket list in prospective.
i went july 2019 and it was one of the best games ive been to. it was freezing but you get used to it
@@mrvader9925 Would absolutely love to go to a game in SF someday the bay is in the background can’t beat it!
Zack, You look like a natural out there!
V
I’m from SF I would love to try that soon love your videos!
"there's a lot of cold nights in Mccovey cove"
anyone that doesn't live in california: "oh please"
anyone that lives in canada: "So...can you go skinny dipping?"
I tell you what tho, go there during the summer, not warm at all.. Windy and cold. Middle of july i was in a coat watching a game lol
@@booniedavillier504 that’s cali for ya
A summer in San Francisco is definitely not warm lol you don’t want to get in that water either lol
I could have watched a 2 hour documentary about this! Fascinating
Wow!!! I'd watched by tv, but see it in this videos is completily awesome, thanks for sharing
Thanks for making these videos. They have inspired me to always show up at batting practice and in both my life and this season, I have caught 3 MLB balls and one minor league ball.
I wonder how many baseballs you would find on the bottom of McCovey Cove
they float
After a minute they sink
I was thinking more in the line of how many bodies are at the bottom of McCovey Cove! 🤣
@@LOVEME_HATEME I'm a little worried but also a little fascinated at that question.
Dave is the aqua man of baseball
Max Netto and zack is his sidekick
Lol ikr
I love watching your videos I am subbed and have turned on all notifications
Haha those seagulls have a field day after the games 🤣😂😂🤣 great video as usual zack!
when dave threw the ball and said "go pick that up" and zack went after it at 8:40 lmaoo like a dog playing fetch. I died of laughter
You have outdone yourself. This is brilliance.
This is something I really like about Zack Hample's videos, he shows you things you never get to see. I've always wondered about the kayakers in Mccovey cove, and now I get to see how it works.
Hoodie in the water was bugging me
Ek Leo same
why? he's in the water lol if he had to jump in more then just the bottom would be wet
I was playing mlb the show and hit one in the water and mcovey cove Dave caught it
Yrs
6:39 ... Very nice form there Zack. Not a badd approach either. Paddle up next to the ball, Scoop it with the net. Looks like you do it for a living ⚾️🚣♂️🏊♂️⚾️

Bet... and also I thought it was Oracle Park?
@@jarjarbinks4744
What's the wager ? I don't have a dog in this fight - would just like to see a right hander launch one ... since it has not happened yet - the Judge visiting this season should have a good shot at a jack ( on the fly , off the bat , no bounce , straight into the water , that's a true Splash Hit ) into McCovey Cove .

Cubs MLB Perfect Inning Gaming it was called pac bell park before At&t
Arthur West You’re annoying
14:12 he got his first ball
Great content Zack. Would love to see you back in the bay some day and get a ball.
This was your coolest video yet!
This stadium keeps getting better as the years go on
0:02 i thought it was Marlins Man at first glance
People who are watching in 2020---->
Is this still available when things open up in Cali in 2021.
I realized I watch too many of Zacks videos when I was kinda worried about his streak going into the game late. I knew he'd somehow keep it going though lol
I will never forget 2010, 2012, and 2014,
Miss you grandpa
You just keep finding ways too keep it fresh!
Really bothered me that Zack got his sweater wet on the left side lol
Me to
Same
Same
Since now it’s called Oracle Park what’s the new verb for zero balls.....Oracled??
Hey zack You jacket is in the water
" as you know I had 3 homeruns last year "
Zack's mind: I had 987 homeruns last year
I did worry for the streak when I saw you did this but glad you got to experience the kayaks
14:46 who else noticed the guy in the backgrounds jordan 1's
Reverse shattered's
I love that stadium
You should go to the bay bridge series @Oakland Coliseum later this month! I'm a Giants fan btw
I think I saw that guy when I was there and he was in the kayak and was getting all the balls that went in the water it wouldn’t have been the same game but I’m pretty sure I saw him
Seems like you had a fun time! I enjoy kayaking, and I can’t imagine how fun it would’ve been if balls flew out during BP. Great video Zack!
That dude in the kayak is awesome hahahaha...
Zack you should go scuba dive in Mccovey cove
Trevor Story threw my friend a ball 5 years ago at an ABQ Isotopes game. Boy was I jealous, and my friend was a soccer player, and knew nothing about baseball.
That must suck
Why is it always so cold in the San Francisco/ Oakland area?
Tre Jones cause the water brings the cold
Golden Bulls what about like LA and San Diego?
Tre Jones La is warm
Donovan Russell I mean I live there and it dips below 70 frequently
It is not the water, we get air blown down from up north but it is known for it being 45 degrees in the morning and then hits 90+ at like mid afternoon
Would love to see you get Kyle tucker first homerun ball he was just called up for the Astros today
Dude my dad dropped a giants hat in the water.
“I always wondered if I was amphibious but now I know” I’d love to smoke a blunt with this man
wow i’d like to see baseballs in McCovey cove on the bottom see how waterlogged they are
Best park in baseball
Met Dave he’s a nice dude
Zack you should do this at PNC park. Go Pirates
16:58 look at the birds
James Mink the clean up crew lol
Mr. Nick lol
Bro seeing the stadium over one shoulder and then Alcatraz over the other is cool af
barely leaves dock, jacket already drudging water
spazvapes it was killing me the whole video
Lol
That’s so cool! I wish I could do that at a giants game, looks awesome!
Your best video yet!!!!!!! Love it!!!!!!!!
I was at that game!! Walk off home run in the bottom of the 9th! It would have been so cool to meet you Zack
jedimasterkyle I was there too!
Anyone watching this in 2021 when AT&T is now called oracle park
Yes
Yes

How does this video not have a million views by now???
I miss kayaking. But my rotater cuff huurts to THINK of it. Sometimes watching a ball game makes me cringe.
0:48
And I wonder how many of those were thrown in by the fans just to mess with him...lol
I have a question for you...
What is it like...to be...a dirty, nasty, leg?
5:56 his jacket is in the water
Ezra Levy sameeeee
I've seen BP balls in yankee stadium roll down the net and into monument park before. The area is actually closed during the game so you cant camp out there for a game home run
Dave just got Sandovols HR!!
Ya seen that. He was hustling to get there.
Un known Sure was 😂
Very cool one you need to go to all the fields at least 3 times each that you can get a water ball.
So you got your 10444 th ball the day you were in McCovey (#44) cove. Interesting!
Richard Elmes iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
It’s interesting that most of these sport fanatic fan boys seem very similar
how have I not seen this before haha awesome!
I was literally watching one of your videos before this and i was about to comment if you could do this video and then i saw this
The only other place to have have splash hits in the water is at PNC Park!
mccovey cove dave got the homerun by pablo into the bay today on live tv
used to be Pacbell before it was at&t..My fav. stadium and i'm an A's fan..lol..next time you should take the golden gate ferry from larkspur landing..it takes less than an hour and it drops u off right next to the park 100meters from the gate
I would be going fishing while I wait for someone to hit a homerun
Mikeybigpapi123 same
Hey zack if you had to pick one stadium to ball hawk and stay there for the rest of your ball hawking what statement will it be
Kane Pavlicek the ASTROdome...
I was sitting on the gharradelli train when Pablo hit the splash hit
Awesome vid Zack , always wanted to do that
16:27 Look at all those chickens. (Only true vine fans would know)
Treyden Claxton R.I.P. vines xD
Did you ever get that mike trout bat?
No life preservers on either?
Zack can u go to the giants game on July 26 against the brewers? Please reply
You really should have worn a PFD.. it's no joke. With the current and you're inexperience it can get bad real fast, especially if you tipped and weren't able to get back in the kayak.
zackhample.com/photos/1982/zack_life_jacket.jpg
That's my team's stadium!! Go Giants!
If you didnt catch a ball to continue your streak I wonder if you'd of still uploaded this 😂😂
It’s crazy that MLB doesn’t sponsor your videos. They should be paying for travel and lodging at the very least. Keep up the good work.
on my bucket list....as a Dodger fan i'd love to snag me a Muncy ball lol.
When u posting the Yankee game u were at Tuesday?
I wonder how many balls are at the bottom of the cove? Maybe me and my scuba kit could find out!
Went down there yesterday found 8 balls!!!
@@Kevlar23-j7r cool! How was the dive?
I saw you there! Awesome time. You got a ball from Story! BP was terible though. My uncle asked about your videographer. Took Pics with you!
