Im sure we all have had cold games....I showed up at a HS game in March at a ballfield perched on a hill in W. PA. It couldnt have been any higher than 40 degrees with snow flurries and the temp dropping as the afternoon wore on...all with a stiff wind....
I had on every piece of uniform clothing I owned.....
Navy Underarmor shirt
2 Navy T-shirts
Navy Long sleeve Jersey
Navy PIAA Jacket
My long black plate socks and short socks and gloves.....this was the game that made me add long underwear to my game bag!! Never been so cold in my life....If I would have had more gear with me, I would have had it all on.......

There is no shame on putting on everything you have. I worked a college game in northern Illinois 2 seasons ago where the field was on top of a hill, completely unprotected. I put on everything I could under my jacket and as I was walking for the field changed my mind and ran back to the car for my plate coat.
I used to wear my plate coat on the bases a few times each spring. Heavy gloves, too, whatever I could grab. Now, with UA Cold Gear, I'm usually quite warm with the CG and the jacket alone, along with gloves and once in a great while an UnderArmour hood under my hat.
