Helicopter Stunt
On July 2, 2012, Hample attempted to break a world record by catching a baseball dropped from a helicopter 1,000 feet above LeLacheur Park in Lowell, Massachusetts. Wearing catcher's gear that was donated by Rawlings, Hample established a record by catching a softball dropped from a height of 312 feet. He then caught baseballs dropped from heights of 312 feet, 562 feet, and 762 feet before the Federal Aviation Administration called off the stunt due to strong winds. Hample plans to make another attempt in 2013 and to donate the gear to charity.
