I prefer to keep my balls warmer. Otherwise, I wouldn't be needing the jacket.

I pick 11th in the "when is someone going to make that reference" pool - where do I pick up my winnings!

I don't tuck on the bases - my pants are already too tight. I just spent $275 for a new plate coat, so I'll be wearing that on the dish. I'll also be wearing it at weddings and funerals until I've decided I've gotten my money's worth.

LLPA,
If you wear a plate coat, you don't wear ball bags. The ball bags are designed into the coat.

Isn't that pretty much exactly what he said to begin with?

Long sleeve shirts NOT allowed here - have to wear pullover with elastic band around the bottom. You couldn't tuck it in if you tried (not that anyone would want to).

LL Dan -

Most MLB umpires tuck in their jackets, whether on the plate or the bases.

On the bases, I do not tuck in my pullover. If I need a pullover at the plate, I put on my Plate Coat. Like Tee, I do not wear a pullover at the plate.

Those aren't jackets, they're smocks. They're ugly and funny looking.

If you guys haven't tried the +POS, lined long sleeved shirt, you haven't lived. It's a far better solution than the smock. Plus, as an extra added bonus, you can tuck them in.

Always tuck in your jacket, whether on the bases or plate. Looks more professional. You might want to invest in a long sleeve shirt for the plate in cold weather if you don't feel comfortable with a plate coat or pullover. Most college groups have guidelines as to uniforms and how they want them worn.
