0:51
baltimore orioles i just felt like
0:53
watching some baseball and i have never
0:56
been to this particular stadium so i
0:57
figured pack it i'm going in
1:00
i'm inviting you to join me my first
1:02
spring training game i attended ray's
1:05
the first day of spring training with
1:07
the players reported but there was no
1:09
game
1:10
being
1:11
played that day but today
1:13
not the rays
1:15
orioles and yankees join me
1:18
steinbrenner field
1:20
shall you i'm pretty excited for some
1:22
baseball current time about 4 15. the
1:24
game plays a certain 6 30 p.m but the
1:26
gates open a couple hours early i guess
1:28
i already see a line starting to
1:30
formulate up there so i'm gonna start
1:32
heading up there get in line and get
1:33
ready to go in and i'm kind of curious
1:35
if others will have different teams on
1:37
other than the orioles and the yankees
1:39
gotta wonder and look who's walking up
1:41
here
1:47
tampa j baseball time fancy meeting you
1:47
here at
1:48
steinbrenner film what was the name of
1:50
this before steinbrenner legends field
1:53
legends field because
1:54
you're from tampa so you know a little
1:55
bit more about this area than i am a
1:57
little bridge that goes over there any
1:59
other fun facts about this field um it
2:01
wasn't named steinbrenner field until he
2:03
passed away they are giving some
2:05
specifics on what you can bring in and
2:07
what you can't bring in there's even an
2:09
express line that says no bags
2:12
i'm excited about this i've never
2:14
what is it
2:15
is that a bag it's a little bag that's a
2:18
little yeah i think it'll work i don't
2:19
know if that classifies
2:21
okay batting practice
2:23
just finished up the orioles are doing a
2:24
little little stretching little
2:26
calisthenics fun word you use that word
2:28
calisthenics and before this happened to
2:31
get ready to put all the netting away
2:32
the batting practice caught a little bit
2:34
of the yankees batting practice and even
2:36
aaron judge was up to bat kind of
2:38
crushing him out to left field yes the
2:40
first time i've ever seen aaron judge in
2:42
person you know one of the stars of the
2:44
yankees
2:45
out here just crushing him out to left
2:48
so that was pretty awesome
2:49
never been to the stadium and i haven't
2:51
been to a yankees game in a long time i
2:53
think the last time i saw the yankees
2:54
was that tropicana field probably 10 15
2:56
years ago and in person yankee obviously
2:59
on tv i've seen them but just to give a
3:01
little tampa bay ray tie in the orioles
3:03
will be
3:04
playing them in the first season opener
3:07
i believe april 8th at tropicana field
3:09
we're going up against the orioles
3:11
this is kind of a little raised higher
3:16
this is just spring training you know
3:16
this isn't part of regular season just
3:18
clarification now this is pretty cool
3:21
whitey ford i remember my dad talking
3:22
about this is one of my dad's childhood
3:24
heroes my dad liked the yankees growing
3:26
up of course my dad used to
3:29
used to live and was a minister
3:31
in commerce oklahoma
3:33
the childhood home of mickey mantle in
3:36
fact i threw the ball around how to
3:38
catch with my dad
3:39
with our gloves and balls
3:41
in mickey mantle's childhood home so
3:43
that was pretty cool
3:44
and then yogi berra
3:47
yogi bear a very famous catcher he was
3:50
working spring training for the houston
3:51
astros once and i got a ball signed by
3:54
yogi berra and there was a short time
3:56
for a couple years probably around the
3:57
turn of the century that i really
3:58
followed all the yankees
4:00
back in the a-rod jeter days love jeter
4:03
jabba chamberlain
4:05
so i followed them for a few years but
4:06
it's been about probably two decades
4:08
because i've really kept up i am really
4:10
glad that baseball is back
4:13
lockout has been rectified
4:16
even though this isn't a regular season
4:19
always good to attend some spring
4:20
training it's going to be a lengthy long
4:22
and fun season i'm doing a lot of
4:23
traveling and peppering in a lot of
4:25
games a lot of race games a lot of raise
4:27
away games
4:28
i'll be hitting a lot of different
4:30
stadiums that i've never been to
4:32
across the country in 22. i'm looking
4:33
forward to it
4:36
and are subject to metal detector and
4:38
physical patterns happening prior to
4:41
entering
4:42
any item or property that could affect
4:44
the safety of george m steinbrother hill
4:47
his occupants or his property shall not
4:49
be permitted into the stadium
4:52
any person that could affect the safety
4:54
of the station its occupants or its
4:56
properties shall be denied
4:59
guests are responsible for their
5:01
connection as well as the conduct of
5:04
their guests
5:05
i'm always interested by this technique
5:06
this training technique
5:08
basically the player has a big rubber
5:10
band and the trainers behind it
5:18
all right about to be first pitch of my
5:18
first game i've a tenant of 22.
5:21
first pitch of my first spring training
5:29
and my plan is to just kind of move
5:29
around the stadium
5:31
oh that was a foul ball basically where
5:33
my seats would have been
5:35
i got 20 seats over there on the first
5:37
base side
5:38
except that it's hard for me to sit
5:39
still sometimes and since i'm not really
5:42
didn't really have great seats i'm just
5:43
kind of move around to be on the left
5:45
and right field line and the outfield
5:46
probably a lot of the game just kind of
5:48
moving around
6:09
i'm out here in the outfield trying to
6:10
catch
6:11
maybe a home run or a pop-up that's a
6:13
ground ball
6:15
might be difficult though because i'm
6:16
standing next to zach hampel
6:18
he's got no chance he might have the
6:20
height advantage but i mean come on is
6:22
there any point in even having my glove
6:23
out here in the outfield with you around
6:25
you never know i might get distracted
6:27
who knows but i mean foundation i feel
6:29
pretty good about my channel how many
6:31
balls have you got a lot of room to run
6:32
out here look at this
6:35

8:05
games today so i'm filming that i'm
8:07
catching this bare-handed okay would you
8:09
like it
8:10
you can throw it up in there so i'm on
8:11
the board
8:16
what am i now am i on the board
8:16
i mean
8:18
it's kind of gotta come from the field a
8:20
coach or player or or a stadium employee
8:22
yeah but i work for mlb but not tonight
8:27
look i
8:28
i don't want to rain on your ball hole
8:29
it's your small print right here
8:32
listen you know there's no official
8:34
score keeper for catching baseballs so
8:37
i don't count spring training balls but
8:39
a lot of people do
8:40
so it's like you know you can count
8:42
however if you want to count that one
8:43
then you go and do it if it makes you
8:44
happy
8:45
i got two exactly you live your truth
8:51
and for those who don't know definitely
8:51
check out zack hample on youtube youtube
8:55
oh you're wearing i gotta get one of
8:56
those i mean it doesn't have my name on
8:57
it it's not that fancy but yeah the real
8:59
question is when are you gonna start
9:01
showing the rays some love
9:03
i mean i don't show them any hate
9:05
but when are you gonna start what are
9:06
you guys talking about some races i mean
9:08
i've been there a number of times over
9:10
the years yeah i've seen a lot of your
9:11
tropicana you actually like tropicana
9:13
field
9:14
it's you know it's surprisingly tough
9:15
people whenever i say i'm going they're
9:17
like oh you're going to catch 20 balls
9:19
there because nobody shows up but the
9:20
outfield configuration is tough i'm
9:22
keeping one eye on the batter i don't
9:23
want to miss a home run and they only
9:25
open like 90 minutes early so that's
9:27
true you don't get that many
9:28
opportunities and a lot of fans there
9:30
show up free game i have the sweet retro
9:31
shirt that is pretty sweet and they're
9:33
not going to montreal
9:35
yeah that's a shame i would have liked
9:36
to see that but i've been to 61 i want
9:39
them here stay here yeah well i mean i
9:42
i've been to 61 different major league
9:43
stadiums so the more places i can go and
9:45
see baseball the happy ride fair enough
9:49
we'll see at the next race game
10:01
this is probably why i don't catch too
10:03
many balls because i'm sitting here
10:06
you do you ever sit
10:09
zach
10:10
uh oh oh we're filming i'm sorry do you
10:12
ever sit buddy
10:14
um
10:33
do i ever sit yes
10:33
uh not if there's a setup that's this
10:36
amazing
10:37
but you know major league stadiums
10:43
lefty he's not hitting one i should run
10:43
over to right if this were regular
10:45
season i would go over there
10:47
but
10:48
you know what i'll
10:50
take a sip to answer your question if i
10:52
know that there's a good chance of
10:53
running and catching the ball i'll stand
10:54
if i'm allowed but a lot of stadiums
10:56
they don't have walkways like this so
10:58
yeah i'll just
11:00
have you is this the first time he's
11:01
ever sat first time i've said all day
11:05
no what for him no he drove us here no
11:07
but i should when i introduced you about
11:08
20 minutes ago you were sitting
11:11
you catch me i can only talk to the
11:13
camera during my break
11:17
you know what i'm kind of in the mood
11:17
for
11:18
it's a hot dog right now
11:20
i could go for one of those
11:23
dog time i'm gonna go get a hot dog yeah
11:25
let's do it dog
11:35
i have now moved over here to the third
11:36
up just a little bit
11:38
went with some peanuts
11:40
america's number one number in shell
11:42
peanut number one
11:45
and then also a little mustard on my dog
11:48
you're gonna put a little ketchup on
11:49
your dog a little plain right now but
11:51
i'm about to catch a bit up i'm gonna
11:52
catch up it up yeah i gotta catch up
11:54
gotta catch up with my mustard dog
11:57
right now it is one to nothing
12:07
i got a little shearing
12:07
a little bit
12:14
like a good dog and a good baseball game
12:14
baseball's back
12:16
all right
12:17
dog time dog town
12:20
baseball's back and we got hot dogs
12:22
it's not alive it's a great night
12:24
it's nice too it's not too hot not humid
12:26
perfect it's not raining
12:30
here's to the summer
12:47
aaron judge up to plate number 99.
12:54
that was a strike
12:54
struck him out
13:01
oh my god
13:07
orioles got a man on first and second
13:10
whatever i think of the orioles i always
13:12
think of cal ripken jr the iron man
13:15
that was a long time ago that i'm
13:16
showing my age
13:18
i saw one of his last games at tropicana
13:21
really one of my first race games yeah
13:24
right after i first moved here in the
13:26
2000s
13:27
i got to see cal rift in junior play it
13:29
was awesome that's pretty cool man
13:41
got a little of a chant going
13:41
iron man not to be confused with the
13:42
black sabbath song obviously
13:49
got that name because of the most
13:49
consecutive games in a row by a player
13:52
i think that record still stands
13:57
i probably should have looked that up
13:57
before i stated it
13:59
someone will correct you
14:10
there it is
14:12
get some orioles rods oh going home
14:14
going home safe orioles got to run in
14:18
now this was kind of interesting the
14:20
batter was hit by a pitch on the hand
14:22
but it was ruled a a hit
14:25
so the runner went in so the orioles
14:26
scored another run
14:28
it was considered a hit because but it
14:29
hit his hand
14:30
rolled down the third base line
14:32
and the runner scored
14:34
or maybe they called him out because all
14:36
the yankees are now going back over to
14:37
the dugout now these are pretty neat
14:39
seats
14:41
right here
14:42
you got some seats here you pull those
14:44
out
14:48
you got this little
14:48
kind of little bar section here
14:51
no one's sitting here we're just kind of
14:52
wandering around
14:54
oh that was way that was
14:56
way above his head
15:09
oh it's a high pop up there center field
15:09
got it and the runners stayed on second
15:13
thought he'd tag up and try to run in
15:14
guy on second and first
15:16
pitch hitting for the vehicle
15:19
what's coming my way that's coming my
15:20
way
15:22
oh
15:23
we just hit that guy right in the noggin
15:25
that hit that guy right in the noggin i
15:27
thought that was hit the guy right in
15:28
the head
15:34
and then this guy got it
15:34
a little souvenir
15:36
now bases are
15:38
loaded no way
15:41
is that a grand slam
15:43
nope center field got it
15:45

15:47
one yankee run in
15:49
