"Home Run Hoopla"

Hey Zack,

What's the stats on World Series game balls?

Great stuff, Zack. I had missed a few of those clips... Good luck in Philly! I can't wait to hear about your snagging from the World Series.
Today I was talking about baseball with my buddy at school and he said, "Did you hear about that guy that caught baseballs on back to back nights at Yankee Stadium then caught that Mets homer?"
I told him, "Hear about him? I met the guy, and he signed a copy of his book for me!" Now you've got yet another fan!

What are your chances of getting a ball from the WS? How is it harder to snag a ball (I think you previously mentioned it was a little more difficult to snag a ball during a WS game)

Good Luck Zack, you'll need it!!!

well i had a monster night at the colesium, but first ill recap thursday vs. Dallas.

i missed my train and there fore missed warmups, but still managed to get a game puck, my second gamer of the year and 102 lifetimje puck.

then today vs Carolina, i tied my all time record of 4 which was set on oct 27 of last year, also vs Carolina. Anyway, i got my first pre game from the trainer, and also had the message i sent in put on the jumbotron: "Puckcollector-102 pucks and counting" well i now had 103, and made it 104 when a puck fell from the netting, which i picked up with no competition. after that a couple people recognized me from the message on the jumbotron. about a minute later, a puck flew over the safety netting entirely, and after a fan bobble it, i scooped it up for puck number 105, which i later gave to a kid. and finally for 106, i got ref brian murphy to hand me the game puck after the second. the isles lost, but i was still happy. 3 gamers in 4 games this year, so hopefully i can keep it up.

good luck in philly zack (and clif)!

Zack cool video. Fall League has been good so far. Got a couple Yankees stuff, a Juan Miranda bat and a couple Phil Hughes autos. Hoping for my first puck this year when I go to the Penguins Coyotes game.
Have fun at the WS and go Rays!

great vid zack! glad to hear you're going to game 4. hey, maybe one of your next videos could be about all the homeruns you've caught. that is if you have footage of the mike bordick nad mike stanley homers.

awesome video. have a great time at philly [clif too.]. are the seats in the outfield?- Joe

10 minute long video + slow internet connection = 35 minute long video. However, it was indeed worth the wait. Awesome compilation! Thanks for sharing.

hey zack,
i'm watching the Giants game on fox, and they just showed video from the baseball pregame, and I saw you holding up the big glove, and what looked to be a sign.
Hope you got something.

wow jack haha i was just coming here to say that

yeah i saw you too..i was just saying to my dad zack is there wonder how hes doin..then i saw you behind the rays dugout with the big glove..

good luck, cant wait to hear, and huge giants win!!!

I really liked that video until the Carlos Beltran homer. Then all of the horrid memories of the Mets bullpen came back to me.
Hope you get something tonight!
Let's Go Rays!

hey i saw a glove in the backround, didn't see how big it was, thought it was you, but figured you would be in the outfield for BP.

does anyone want a kids size cheap bill guerin jersey that was a giveaway at an isles game 2 weeks ago?

puck-ill take it. i think u gave me dipietro last yr, ill give it to my bro fro christmas again.

I meant first puck of the season on my previous comment. Also, I tried to send you the clip from our local news but it didn't work for some reason. I'm going to send you a couple of pics (finally) from the Rockies game.

Great video!! It's great to have everything put together like that!

EVERYONE-
I survived Game 4 of the World Series last night. I'm already working on the blog entry about it. I'm hoping to have it up some time today, but it might take me until tomorrow...

STRIFEVALERIC-
Before yesterday's game, I'd snagged six (combined) balls at three W.S. games.

MATT-
Nice story about your friend at school. Glad you enjoyed the clips, and that you're looking forward to my next entry.

VIRGINIA-
The chances of snagging at least one ball during BP were...extremely high. Basically a guarantee. It was harder because it was very crowded and people were crazy.

PUCK COLLECTOR-
Nice puckin' job.

DNESBITT14-
Cool...and thanks. Can't wait to see the pics. Bummer about the video, though.

RICKYMCENTIRE-
I do have some crappy Bordick footage on a VHS tape somewhere in a basement storage locker, but I definitely don't have footage of the Stanley snag.

JOE-
No, the seats were in the upper deck.

GRAHAM-
Ouch. Glad you stuck with it, and thanks for watching.

JACK-
Awesome! Thanks for letting me know. My goal wasn't to get on TV. It was to get a World Series ball...but I'll take it.

GJK2212-
Nice.

ELLIE-
Sorry. :-)

KAYBEE-
Thank you!

Great video Zack.
Check out my blog under the featured blog.

any chance of the entry tonight??

CLAIRE-
Thanks!

JOSHSCARDS-
I'm almost done with the entry. It's just hard for me to get much work done on it while Game 5 is being played. I should have the entry up before I go to bed tonight, but I still have at least four hours of awakeness in me...
