What's y'all's take on this?

For those who didn't see this the other night: Zack Hample, the notorious ballhawk who muscles out kids to get foul balls thrown into the stands and got hit in the face by a 9th inning homer at a Rangers-Yankees game last week, weasled his way into the Fort Bragg Game which was for servicemen only so that he could snag some balls. This is apparently stooping even below the neon orange dildo who pays absurd amounts of money to sit front row at pretty much every major American sporting event in his sideways Marlins visor. They've been going at it on twitter for the past 48 or so hours, I guess to determine once and for all which of them is the King of the Dorks:

It apparently began with Hample setting up a freaking Tinder account to find someone to sell him tickets



And then bragging about snagging a ball thrown into the stands, which drew the ire of the 82nd Airborne



And then Marlin's Man waded into the fray



And foul ball boy issued an apology



BUT MARLIN'S MAN WANTS BLOOD





So... WHO YA GOT

They are both mega ******s, but at least the marlins guy doesn't actively negatively impact the game for other fans.

They're both almost in the same class of ****** as the vandy whistler

Marlins Guy is just livin' the dream. I'd love to be rich enough to do what he does.

If the Marlins Man isn't negatively impacting the game for other fans, he's definitely not in the category of the Vandy whistler.

And I'll be real about it. If I had the money, time, and no family at home, I'd travel around sitting in expensive seats, too.

Don't get me wrong, if I were fabulously rich I'd gladly spend my time flying all over the country to see every major sporting event in person but seeing that neon orange and the sideways visor makes me want to punch the guy in the face.

But yeah Zack Hample is the worst. He and the Vandy Whistler should be sent to Guantanamo.

I mean, I guess it's possible, but this guy is 38 and claims his dad served in WW2? His dad would have been at least 50 when he was born. Like I said, possible, but with this guy, it doesn't pass the sniff test.

At first I thought you meant Marlins Man picked a fight with the guy who practically tackles kids for balls on Green's Hill in Arlington. I was going to immediately side with Marlins Man.

If you're a grown man and you being a glove to a game, fine. If you catch a homer, you should appreciate the moment does second, then give the ball to a little kid. If you can't find one, you can keep it. Anybody that does otherwise is a sniveling, whiny dweeb. ESPECIALLY if you have thousands of balls like that guy claims to. Marlins man all day

I'm stunned that anyone even knows who these two clowns are, much less cares. And, if a soldier scored two weeks pay for selling his ticket to a minor league ballpark to this guy, good for him.

I'm filling in for Chip Howard on Friday and I'm having Zack Hample on to talk about all this. Be sure to tune in... This could get interesting.

Why? This is what I don't get. It's not like he's wearing Yankee pinstripes or a Red Sox jersey. He's a Marlins fan for crying out loud.
