Do you love baseball as much as you love it? Zach Hemple? This ordinary guy from New York became famous all over the world, thanks to the unique baseball ball collection … He has already managed to get hold of more than 5800 exhibits, and he is not going to stop there!
Earlier we wrote about unusual collectors, among them were Russian collectors of bottle caps, and the amazing American Zizi Howell, who every year increases the number of "carrot" tattoos on her body. Passion for Zach Hemple also causes affection in many. The guy tries not to miss a single baseball game and, during the game, conscientiously picks up all the balls that turned out to be outside the field, and sometimes he even manages to convince one of the players or coaches to throw him a couple of balls.
"Hunting" baseballs is not easy, Zak has excellent physical fitness, good wit and, of course, always hopes for the accompanying luck! The guy does not hesitate to change T-shirts with the logos of each team during the game, in order to get the balls of both opponents. To win over the players, he speaks to them in their native language.
An unusual hobby came to Zach in 1990, but he does not even think to stop, because now he manages to intercept 8-9 goals per game. The American admits that he is literally obsessed with this occupation! He even released three books on how he managed to assemble such an impressive collection, which, by the way, is the largest in the world!
It is commendable that Zach does not collect balls for his popularity. About three years ago, he initiated a charity event: for every ball caught, the guy receives $ 7, this money he donates to Pitch in for Basebal, which provides all the disadvantaged youths around the world with everything they need to play baseball!
