I have forgotten to bring some gear/equipment with me to a few games over my 50 year career.
The goofiest was leaving my shoes at home and working a game behind the plate with my LL Bean Camp Mocs on !!
Please don't tell me someone here forgot the most important male umpire gear and took a foul ball/passed ball in the "tender spot" ??

Gald to see someone else is as old as me...
I have forgotten my brush, borrowed a towel from one of the teams.
BTW, I started by 50th years this year.
