At the Lance Cokalinski Umpire College and Screen Door Company we wore two ump attire ball bags. The left one was filled with balls and right one was filled with snacks and a cold can of beer for the walk to the truck.

I wear grey all the time. I like the way it looks.

Peace

BTW we are allowed gray or blue but most guys use gray.

Wet balls get tossed to the dugout for a substitute or an assistant coach to dry off. Why would an umpire concern himself with this?

You must be kidding.

Two ball bags.

Gray to match (blend in with) my pants.

Hey all,

Now then, do any of you that wear grey ball bags also wear the darker color grey pants, like the ones on Gerry Davis' site? If so, do you wear the heather grey bags or have you purchased the darker grey bags to match the pants?

P.S. Two ball bags at every game and either navy or black, depending on the shirt.

For my first college game I wore two ball bags. Yep, I made the "big time". Got to the field where I was handed 2 baseballs. 1 for each bag. Looked ridiculous.

Well, all the local college teams keep me loaded with baseballs. I normally have six, 3 in each bag.

Nah, everyone knows the proper dress code calls for smokes in the shirt pocket, and dip can in the left rear pants pocket.

Extra style points are awarded if it's a "KOOL" hardpack, prominently displayed.

What's the order of the day for a shirt with two front pockets, ala the old Elbeco shirts? I'm thinking a pack of smokes in each pocket in case it's a long game...
