Catching my 200th foul ball at Wrigley Field!
Спорт
EPIC CATCH in the upper deck and you need to see what happened next!
This foul ball was just one small part of a VERY fun day in Chicago, starting with leftover deep dish pizza and an awesome view from my hotel. The Chicago Cubs played the Washington Nationals, and I spent as much time exploring the stadium as I did watching the game itself. From the struggle to get tickets to the friendly groundskeepers to the closeup look at the wonky left field configuration to the long-distance view of Lake Michigan, this video has it all.
BTW, I caught my first foul ball at Shea Stadium in 1992, and I remember it well. It was a high slicer by Expos catcher Darrin Fletcher that trickled down to me through a crowded section on the 3rd base side. I lunged under an orange metal bar to grab it, and when I jumped up excitedly to show the crowd and the TV cameras, I forgot about the bar and whacked my head on it soooooo hard. Twenty-nine years later, things were a bit smoother, though I wish I'd known that it was my 200th foul ball when I caught it. Unfortunately I didn't realize it until I got back home to NYC and updated my stats/lists. D'oh!

This video was filmed on May 20, 2021 by "Fenway Chris," and I did the editing. Hope you enjoy(ed) it and thanks for watching! (And thanks to Terrence the groundskeeper for being amazing.)

i got one ball from pnc park before the game and a police officer gave it to me. I love your videos i wish I can meet one day
Like I’ve said before, I adore your videos because you’re doing things I could only dream of seeing. You’re bringing the thoughts to life in my hand! Thank you, here’s a like for the work! Another amazing video!

QnA how many ice cream cup helmets do you have?
This might sound harsh, but I probably wouldn't give the baseball to kids under 5. They might be happy for a whole 5 minutes, but that it. A ten year old will be happy for weeks bragging to his friends.

I hear you.
I like the style of this video a lot with you traveling to the game. Also, congrats on the foul ball. I think baseball is so enjoyable when you just sit back and relax to watch it sometimes. There is always a lot to check out and it's just nice to be there for the ballpark's atmosphere, especially at a classic one like Wrigley. It's a lot of fun to check out the game from different views. Keep up the great work and I'm honored to have met you.

Baseball is relaxing. I do think the most important things to fix it though, are time limit so you have to eventually throw the pitch instead of wasting forever, and ofc the substance issue going on.

Terrance is the real MVP of this video. For some reason Fenway Chris' TMZ hat reminds me of that guy with the YUP hat in Storage Wars who always yells "YUUUUUUUUUP!" when he bids.

So much has changed for the Cubs since this video was shot. No more Baez, Rizzo, Bryant, Joc Pederson, Trevor Williams, Kimbrel and on and on. You were there for the end of an era for Cubs baseball, good timing Zack!
Great job man, I'm glad it could be at Wrigley field.

Happy 200!
so cool zack love it love your videos
Big fan zack. Keep up the great job sir
Congrats on getting your 200th foulball zack
I think you should sit in some cool unique spots when you go to games sometimes even if it it isn’t a good place for catching balls like the Wrigley rooftops. Also, it would be neat to see you enjoying some of the cool things around the ballpark as well like Wrigleyville, or other areas around certain stadiums, I just love seeing all aspects of the stadiums and parks you go to sometimes more than you catching one extra ball. Either way, I love your videos.
You are a national treasure! Keep on keepin' on!
Nice to seee Kimbrel have a bounce back season. I was worried his career was close to over with how bad the last 2 seasons had been.
It was nice you mentioned PNC Park earlier in your video. Hope to see you there someday.
Tarrence is a really nice guy
