And is there a specific brand of combo pants that are best?? For shirts, I also noticed they sell plate and base shirts, is there a need for both? Thanks for your help again.

As I mentioned earlier, I use combos when I am doing a double header, plate pants if I am only doing one game behind the plate, and combos if I am only doing one game on bases. I don't have any base pants. Combos work, they are just a little snugger around the shinguards than a real plate plant. It also depends on what shinguards you are using. If you are using double or triple knee shinguards the combos will be snug, but workable. If you are using a less expensive single knee shinguard the combos will be fine. Long story short, if you are starting out and want to save some money you are not likely using the best shingaurd available so combo pants should work just dandy.
I'm not sure what you mean by plate shirt, vs. base shirt, except that the plate shirt should be one size bigger. Again, if you are interested in saving money buy one size and use for plate and base. You could buy your normal size for bases and be snug when you are on plate, or buy one size larger for plate and be a little loose on bases. I prefer to have the right size for plate.
I buy most of my stuff at Honigs. Never had a problem with Honigs equipment, service, delivery, etc.
