Zack Hample ("professional" baseball collector) manipulated his way into the Marlins v Braves game on Fort Bragg yesterday just to get a baseball from the event.

It was a closed event for 12K Soldiers and families, several Soldiers were denied attendance due to no tickets. His twitter says he collected 11 balls and gave 10 of the 11 balls he collected away...well he WASNT SUPPOSE TO BE THERE! What about the kid who almost got the ball he snagged? He probably walked away empty handed. These are veteran's children and you denied them that opportunity.
I don't often get to fired up about this type of stuff but this really really bugs me. If you're willing to go to these lengths for memorabilia, then you're taking it too far.
Some folks are calling for his ban from all MLB events. 82nd Airborne Division is none too happy with the guy telling him to "Delete his account" and brings up this point:
