So, I felt like an ice cube.

So, having 'learned' from this experience, I purchased an Under Armor cold weather undershirt and some nice socks. It was a bit better, but the wind was bitter cold and I was still shivering. I noticed that some of the others wore Majestic heavy pull overs. Does anyone else have them? What else can I do to keep comfortable and not be immobile ?
I assume you are talking about working the bases. I've done games in snow before and I've never been cold behind the dish. On the bases I always wore a sweat wicking shirt and sweatshirt under a heavy jacket. This normally did the trick. I also tried to run around in between innings to stay warm. Just standing in A is by far the worst.
