Zack Hample has become semi-internet famous for two things. Catching a ton of foul/home run balls at baseball games, and crying about how someone impeded his quest to get one. Well, tonight was not Zack’s night. Not only did he miss out on one home run ball…he missed out on two. PAINFULLY.

The best one was the first one. New York Yankees catcher Brian McCann hits a homer to the right field bleachers, and Hample is right there in perfect position.
Except that there’s another dude one row in front of him who is going to make this totally sick barehanded snag…OR NOT!https://www.instagram.com/p/BHQ8UD3D2Ip/embed/captioned/?cr=1&v=7&wp=658&rd=https%3A%2F%2Ftotalsportsblog.com&rp=%2F2016%2F06%2Fprofessional-home-runfoul-ball-catcher-guy-zack-hample-gets-smokes-trying-catch-2-hr-balls-yankee-stadium-video%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A29834.600000000035%7D

Thank you SO MUCH to whoever runs the SportsCenter Instagram account. You are a gentleman and a scholar.
The second HR he drops is the walkoff blast by Yankees shortstop Didi Gregorius. I can’t find a good enough video to post, so I’ll just drop the ESPN link here. It is unable to be embedded. Watch as Hample runs into position, but then gets bodied by the dude to his left. It’s LOL worthy.
McCann’s game-tying home run just hit me in the face . . . because the guy in front of me deflected it. And HE got the ball. Damn.

. . . and Didi’s walk-off HR came right to me & I dropped it because I got body-slammed by the guy next to me. Unreal. Goodnight, Twitter.

Awww poor Zacky didn’t get his widdle baseballs. Hopefully tomorrow night is Yankee Kleenex night, and he can wipe away all of his tears.
