Zack Hample backtracks, Yankees and A-Rod could get baseball
Zack Hample holds up the ball that Alex Rodriguez hit to join the 3,000th hit club on Friday.It would seem the only thing ball-hawk Zack Hample is better at than catching baseballs is trolling the guys who hit them—or, more specifically, trolling Alex Rodriguez and the Yankees.
Four days after catching the Yankee slugger’s 3000 hit in the right field stands - and amidst renewed negotiations with the team to settle terms for the ball’s return - Hample went to Twitter on Tuesday to have a little added fun with the three-time MVP.
“Hey @AROD, I’m the guy who snagged your 3000th hit. Any chance for a follow back? It would mean a lot to me,” Hample posted to Rodriguez’ twitter account.
