No, MLB did not actually ban notorious HR ball collector Zack Hample

If you're not familiar with Zack Hample, you should honestly consider yourself lucky. The 47-year-old is a baseball collector who travels to MLB stadiums throughout the season in hopes of aggressively catching home run balls.

On Tuesday, Hample made a noticeable impact on the Angels-Rays game at Steinbrenner Field and nearly avoided a fan interference. But no, it did not result in Hample's banishment from MLB games.

The incident in question came when the Angels' Kyren Paris hit a two-run home run in the second inning. The Rays' Christopher Morel likely had an opportunity to rob the home run.
