Help - Plate Pullover Jacket question

[TussAgee11]

I need to purchase a pullover jacket for those rainy days when I'm on the plate. Should I get one without elastic on the bottom? Or one that doesn't (so you can tuck it in).

I can't imagine tucking in a jacket into the pants, but is that what the plate ump is supposed to do? What about the base ump?

Thanks.

Tucking a windbreaker into your plate pants is actually to proper way to wear a pullover when working the dish. Looks really weird on the bases though.

So on the bases you don't tuck in?

Thanks Steve.

Well, hopefully it's not really excessively long. That looks bad too. If it hangs down past the middle of your butt, I'd probably tuck it in.

Turn on TBS right now and look at the new MLB field jackets. They have a real casual look to them.

Looks like they are tucked in, but kind of pulled out. A loose tuck I guess, to where you can't see the belt, but the coat kind of doubles back on itself.

those are the ones we talked about in another thread a few weeks ago, just a sleeveless version. they've worn them before and the place i remember seeing the most, oddly enough, is san diego.
