As long as I drive to the games, I keep just about everything in my van. My van is now essentially a 2-seater as I have removed the middle bench and folded the third one down to help supprt the weight of all the uniforms on the hanging bar. In the back of the van, I have 3 of the
3-drawer sets. I keep my hats in two drawers and I have hats for each or the sanctioning bodies and some plain ones. I have a drawer full of plate/base brushes, counters, lineup card holders, and pens and pencils. I have umpteen different T-shirts - white, red, navy, gray, & black. When you sweat as much as I do, intera-wear doesn't do much better than regular cotton, so most are just plain colored cotton T-shirts. I even keep the cold weather gear in there. I keep 6 ball bags, so I've always got clean ones. I've got lots of extra shoe laces, spandex tights with cup holder... I buy a bag of 3-dozen white shop towels & keep some wet in the cooler to cool off with. I carry a couple chest protectors, a couple sets of leg guards, several masks. I have all the shoe shine stuff Joel listed along with a spray water bottle and an aerosol spray called "Master Shine" that puts a high gloss shine on my base shoes. I have a couple pair of base shoes and a couple pair of plate shoes. I carry rule books & case books for each sanctioning body and a current BRD. I've got blanks for any kind of paperwork I might have to fill out, too. I carry a folding chair and have a cooler that is pretty well stocked with water, tea, fruit juices, ... Since we're empty-nesters now, I don't have to worry about carrying any one other than my wife & me - so the van is set up to have me pretty much fully prepared for any kind of ball game.
