This All-Star pitcher recognized me at a White Sox game

He didn't just recognize me -- he knew my name!! And it took me by surprise. I'd never talked to Lucas Giolito before so I had no idea that he knew who I was, but when he spotted me in the seats near the White Sox bullpen at Guaranteed Rate Field, he simple said, "Zack Hample."

Giolito, by the way, was an All-Star in 2019, and as I mentioned in the video, I'm going to give away the baseball that he signed for me. Check out my post on Instagram (@zack_hample) for more info about how you can win it, and be sure to follow Lucas Giolito too (@lgio27).

This video was filmed on April 28, 2022, and yes, it's brand new on my YouTube channel more than eight months later! The White Sox were playing the Kansas City Royals, and Bobby Witt Jr. (who was, at the time, the No. 1 prospect in MLB) was still trying to hit his 1st career home run. That's why I was there. It was rainy and freezing (bad for hitting home runs) but that meant it was empty in the left field bleachers (good for running around and catching home runs) and it all came down to luck after that.

This video was filmed and edited by Rachel Messbauer. Thanks for watching and stay tuned for another "winter release" coming soon!
