Other than that, I got hooked up in a really cool way by bullpen catcher Dustin Hughes (@dhog91) who threw me three baseballs -- one in each level of the stadium -- to help me get to 100 lifetime balls at the Coliseum. As promised, here's a list of all 27 stadiums where I've reached triple digits:

In case you missed my previous video when I got SIX FOUL BALLS during the game, here it is:

Also, here's the video from Miami where EVERYthing good happened:

The newest video in Oakland with the abandoned suite was filmed on September 19, 2023 by Rachel Messbauer, and it was edited by Zac Gutherman (@zg_films). Thanks for watching!

As a Seattle fan, I'm going to miss this place. Everything sounds so familiar with all the countless games we've played the A's in there, listening on the radio and watching on TV. Especially those drummers who never get tired of it!
-
As a Yankee fan, it's kinda sad to see this stadium empty
-
That throw to the upper deck was awesome.
-
I think it’s super cool that Dustin collects commems! Definitely a super cool thing for you two to have in common! As for the coliseum, the weird quirks of it such as that box, the random stair cases that lead to nowhere, the layout, etc, those random aspects make the place all the more unique and glorious. Fans can talk about new stadiums all they want, but there’s just a special feeling about being at an old fashioned/one of kind ballpark such as Oakland. Especially in its last few years.
-
This stadium has so much history, it's sad that they are letting this team go. The fans of Oakland deserve better.
-
I live 1 mile from the Coliseum…been to countless games and I can hear the stadium rally music from my bedroom. It’s my church.
-
I love the atmospheres at these games in Oakland. Reminds me of the 1980s, when crowds were smaller and their collective personalities were more, I don't know how to put it, like they were in these two videos. Just there to watch the game and enjoy themselves and enjoy baseball.
I said this in a comment on the last video too, but I'm going to miss the A's being in Oakland. -
Me and my friends found that same suite when we went to the A's and Giants games! We originally had pretty crappy seats and stumbled across that open suite, pretty nice view for the games!
-
It’s a shame that the A’s are leaving Oakland. I used to take BART with my kids to the games. Seeing it so empty makes me sad. I blame the selfish owner AND the government officials for the city of Oakland. They tried to move to San Jose (not too far from Oakland), but the San Francisco Giants stopped that because they had a minor league team there (even though there are more people and have more income down there). Oakland lost their basketball team (Warriors), their football team (Raiders), and now they will lose their baseball team. I hope Vegas treats them well.
-
Being a Oakland Athletic must be a Rush! Playing in front of dozens of people every night.
-
The "Holy Toledo" tribute sign was even shaded out (11:48). Wow. Even the late A's /Raiders PBP announcer Bill King can't even get love in the coliseum's waning days.
-
My first stadium growing up. Sadly after almost 60 games there is really sad that it will end this way. But Zach, you have a great channel love your foul ball videos and some or later you'll come back hourly next year down in where i am SD. keep up the great work!
-
I like seeing you visit these late season teams with limited attendance. Makes the foul ball hunt seem fun. Everyobe there was so happy to see you too.
-
I miss the As of the Seventies. Reggie, Rudi, Campy, and Catfish ❤
-
Man Zack I was actually at this game sitting in the left field bleachers. Would’ve been great to meet you, the man capable of living out his dreams. I really respect you.
That said, we can all sense how ownership has killed this franchise. Killing the product on the field, reducing the fan experience off of it, while doubling ticket prices. Then we can’t get excited about the young guys because we may have no future in Oakland. Anyways man, thanks for coming out and showing our history some love. -
The Oakland Coliseum is basically already abandoned
-
Dude...........I really think you have some kind of Rawlings made magnet inside of you!!
-
Always good to "know a guy". Pretty cool you hooked up Dustin with that Marlins ball. Never seen someone play "catch" from the 3rd deck. Haha. More cool catches. Until the next video...
-
Hope I can meet Dustin Hughes one day he really is a cool guy. Love how zack has all this space at this stadium. Really makes the video better so much more action
-
It's hard to believe how old some of these stadiums have gotten, like this one. Fifty-seven years old! Opened in 1966 at the dawn of the cookie-cutter, circular multi-use stadium boom. Between the A's and the Raiders, it became quite a historic venue. Sad it's all about to come to an end as time marches on.
