Catcher's sand in sewn pockets protectors, I think. Sold my old balloon for $15. Profit, America is good 
Worked games with no time limits, $6, $14 for a DH; worked 6-8 games on Sat/Sun in the Southern heat and humidity.
I don't know why I miss those times but I still do.  |
Well, as I said, I'll likely stay with the inside for the most part. The only times I may use a balloon are:
1) where I have an injury that may require the extra protection (like today)
2) lower level (60' basedpath) youth baseball.
