Zack Hample has made a living off being an obnoxious fan who travels from stadium to stadium to get beg players to throw him the ball in the stands and routinely gets accused of getting into to it with other fans just to amass a baseball collection.
On Sunday, Hample took his douchebaggery to another level when he bought his way into tonight’s game between the Marlins and the Braves which was played in Fort Bragg, North Carolina. Tickets to the game were given out to members of the armed forces, the U.S. Department of Defense and their families and everyone with a ticket was instructed not to give any away to the public.
According to a Twitter user Hample went on Tinder offering anyone up to $1000 dollars tickets for the game on Tinder.,

Hours later Hample sent out this tweet off a ball that he was able to snag at the game.
Fort Bragg commemorative baseballs? Oh yes! Martin Prado just tossed this to me after the 3rd inning. pic.twitter.com/OQoGJfExbR

Let’s just say the folks on Twitter weren’t too happy with Hample’s actions.

Tickets were given to military families. If they decided to give a ticket to him it's not

game is exclusively for armed service members & families. Unless he's one of those, he's taking someone's seat.

You are a jerk. I hope you spend your July 4th thinking about how baseball is more important to you than being a quality human.

Hample tried to explain how he got into the game.
FYI, I got my ticket through a friend whose entire unit got 'em. He was gonna bring his GF who doesn't like baseball so he took me instead.

He also attempted to to do damage control by saying that he gave away most of the balls and would donate to charity.
I got 11 balls today and gave 10 away. As promised, I'll be writing an $1,100 check to https://t.co/B7S73jb999. Please everyone, calm down.
