Like every other game, baseball has its own fair share of nuisances in almost every match. This one is about the avid baseball collector Zack Hample and Colorado Rockies’ home ground, Coors Field.

Earlier this month, Zach was one of the spectators at Coors Field, where the Colorado Rockies fought against the St. Louis Cardinals. Apparently, the ushers there were pretty strict, which ruined the game for Hample.

He is known for collecting 11,000 baseballs from the Major League Stadiums, including Mike Trout’s first homerun and Alex Rodriguez’s 3000th career hit. 

What exactly happened at the Coors Field?

During the match, Hample tried to catch a home run ball. In his way of doing that, he tried to enter a prohibited section. Therefore, the usher present there had to forcefully lead him back to his seat. When he refused to concur, security got called.

The guards told him“Either stay in your seat or leave.”

Eventually, after taking his frustration out on the guards and saying things like, “I’ll stay in my seat, but I want you guys to know how lousy the fan experience is here.”

Furthermore, he said, “It’s not good. Big L. … you guys get an F on the fan experience.”
