Retirement (?) Sale
 

I am considering retiring from baseball umpiring. It might depend on how much I can sell any / all of my gear for.

I tried to post pictures here, but the limits are too small.

You can read what I have and see pictures at

Thanks,

Well I'm dumbfounded, I never realized you even posted over there.

I'm interested in the chest protectors and the L/XL shirts/jackets. If any of the ball bags are black Carlucci's I'd be interested in those too.

make an offer. the ball bags are NOT Carlucci's (I'm really not sure where I got them -- probably Honig's)

Had no idea that was you!

Bob's trying to be incognito, RP.

Lots of stuff has sold. Here's what I think I have left. Buyer pays shipping (but that's negotiable if you buy lots of stuff):



I need to pack this stuff up for the winter, so this is your chance to get it for fall ball, or wait until next spring.



Honigs Chest Protector -- K1. 12" from neck to base. Plus I added a 2" extension (removable -- just velcro) for a total of 14". WOrn a lot, but no stains or anything. Includes removable bicep protectors. $100

Plate and Base Shoes -- New Balance. Whatever the model was a couple of years ago. Not worn much (see the WV Platinum). Size 9.5, I think -- maybe 10. Size 10-4E (both). Plate is NB 460; Base is NB950 (I think) Plate $70; Base $50

Plate Shoes -- NB 450. Worn a couple of years. Shows some wear, but no tears or anything. Size 10-4E. $50

Base Shoes -- Reebok 980. Worn a couple of years. Shows some wear.. SIze 11. $25

Wilson Shin Guards -- I forget the model, but they are gray with the hard ankle protectors. These are a bit worn. $45

Honigs Shins -- Model K20-18". Worn a lot, Shows some wear. $30

Smitty Pants -- Plate and bases. In good shape. Size 34. (I normally wear 34x32 in "everyday pants" -- the plate pants have been hemmed to allow for shins and plate shoes) Adjustable waist. Multiple pairs of each. I seem to have 4 base and three plate. Still looking for more. Plus 1 pair without the adjustable waist. These are nearly an exact match for the Honigs poly-wools (once you are more than 5' from your partner, no one will be able to tell the difference) $25

Gerry Davis Pants -- the first version. Same size as above. I think 1 base and 1 plate (maybe 2 of each). Size 34 The base have been "rehemmed" so there's not much fabric left if you need to lengthen; plenty of room to lengthen the plate pants. $25

Honigs shoe bags -- 2 sets of 2. Still in original package. $10 each.

Navy blue shirts $10 Official Choice - 2 L, 4 XL. Some with IHSA patch on sleeve; some without. 1 Teamwork, size XL(?) IHS patch 1 long sleeved Honigs -- 410

Honigs pullover blue jacket; very good to excellent condition; size XL -- $35

Navy ball bags -- at least 2, maybe more. $5 each.

Assorted brushes, indiclickers, -- make an offer

The game's not gonna be the same without ya, Bob. I for one will miss you on the field.

Retired from softball and football,but posting here. I retired from football several years ago and was cleaning out my closet and found two nice short sleeve shirts, a long sleeve one, and a pair of black coaches shorts, all size 2X. I was trying to give them away through my former association and got no response. Think it would be a real shame to just toss them in the trash. My last softball season was last spring and I'm going to give away all my gear. Hope I get better response from the softball/baseball association. I want to give this stuff away to encourage some new official who may be hesitant because of the costs. Guess I'll find out soon.

Sigh. One less guy to carry me.....
