Zack Hample is at Great American Ball Park for the Reds-Brewers series, and it's going better than it did for the notorious ballhawk last June in Cincinnati when Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw denied Hample one of the blue baseballs used by Major League Baseball on Father's Day.
Hample Tweeted Tuesday night that he got three home-run balls Tuesday night during Cincinnati's 7-6 loss to Milwaukee - including the first Major League home run by the Reds' Alex Blandino - and added that despite collecting more than 10,000 baseballs since he was 12, he had never before come up with three homers in one game.
