Retirement (?) Sale

[bob jenkins]

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

(You will need to log in to post, or you can post responses here).

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)

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

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.
