MLB fans can be brutal if they decide not to like a person. At the same time, they are known to appreciate people for what they are. During the Angels vs Rays game, a fan interfered from the stands in a home run play by Kyren Paris. The Rays challenged for interference, but the call stood, saying it was a home run.
Surprisingly, it turns out that the fan interference was from Zack Hample, the famous baseball collector. Hample claims to have collected more than 12,000 baseballs from all stadiums. He also claims to have Mike Trout’s first home run ball and A-Rod 3000 career hit ball.

MLB fans are angry with the baseball collector for his interference. It’s also worth noting that Zack Hample has a lot of hate for his aggressive ways of collecting baseballs, including stealing them from kids. Here’s a look at some reactions from X.
“Of course, it’s f*****g Zack Hample b**** a**” one fan wrote.
Of course it’s fucking zack hamples bitch ass

“There should be a Zack Hample rule, where it’s always interference when he touches it,” one fan replied.
