My ten year old grandson is a baseball nut. His greatest dream is to snag a ball at a major league baseball game. I gave Zack Hample's HOW TO SNAG MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALLS to him and he can't wait for the season to start so that he can put into practice what this so smart book teaches him to do.
This book will put a major league baseball in your hands. I stumbled on some of the tips Zack explains in trying to get a ball myself. But Zack outlines many more - most common sense - but easy to overlook unless you have the single-minded devotion to major league baseball acquisition that characterizes Zack. This is a book for all little boys and girls, even those over ten (or forty) years of age, whose passion is to hold their own major league baseball.
We snagged a baseball within 24 hours after the book arrived, at Shea Stadium, from reliever Armando Benitez. Never thought it would be possible!!
Not a bad read. A lot of it is common sense. I saw it on sale for a few bucks and figured why not.My major issue with this book is the author himself. Zack Hample kinda comes off like a pompous ass which deters me from buying any of his other books. He has a very snobby attitute towards other fans and puts on an act with players to lure them into tossing him balls. He seems like a pretty shady character.This book is a decent bathroom read if you can find it for cheap. Otherwise, you're not missing much.
This guy will stop at nothing to get a ball even if its to step, push, shove or grab from a disabled individual. Don't recommend. the objective should be to encourage our children to have fun, not be deceiving in how to get balls.
Book has lots of historical trivia and facts. Topic could have been written on the backs of baseball cards. .
