Ball Bags

[Uncle George]

I like to wear two. Doing so gives me an opportunity to rotate the balls evenly. I leave my keys usually in the fuel door or use a magnetic key holder and place it somewhere under the car or I put them in my back pocket.

I wear two of the large umpires ball bags from Honig's, color depending on what shirt I'm wearing.

Ok, does it really matter which ball bag you wear. Sure I wear the Honigs black ones, but they all serve the same purpose- to hold balls.

The black leather ones? I heard they're really great for holding balls.

I am afraid, that in your quest to fake as a "kid umpire", you have mistaken this entire issue.

Coaches "evaluate" umpires as they walk on the field. Ball bags, as with the remainder of your uniform, establish who you are (and sadly, your ability) before you call a pitch.

If you really feel "bags just hold balls" then your fake as persona is again exposed . . . we are, sadly, judged before we call a pitch . . . and (again) sadly everything from ball bags to clean pants make a difference in your advancement to success.

See, RATS, want anything to attack . . . we just need to redirect that to our performance . . .

Dress the part and you have one step up on the "others".

No Steve I wasnt referring to the honigs leather ones. im talking about the regular black ones (narrow top) ones. They dont look much different, but they fit better on your belt and belt loops. And Tim, sure i know how important dress is, we have a specific dress code too. But i dont think that a coach will really care what type of ball bag you are wearing unless its an unorthodox style, such as pink or orange. To bobjenkins, when will you get the pooper-scooper out here? You have mess to clean

the ball bags go on the sides of your pants, dan.
not in the back.

God forgive me for asking, but which "regular ones" are narrow at the top?
