Do you use one ball bag or two?

[UmpJM]

LMan,

What state? (Which states???)

What level? (All? Varsity only? Other?)

What color? (Matches.... Shirt? Pants? Accessories?)

How do you like the "feel" of the leather ones?

Alabama, all, dark blue (matches shirt), I have no idea.

According to our District Director, Gray bags are also approved. Black, however, are not.

UMP25,

I was just curious.

For those states that permit gray, are the new "chaps" style plate pants "preferred" when wearing the leather ball bags?

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Really? My world is in tatters! I was lied to! I've been deceived! It was all Dick Cheney and Halliburton! No justice, no peace!




Thanks for the correction

I just switched to two ball bags in the last couple of years. I did so mostly because when I would wear a plate coat I got used to putting things in both pockets. Most of my career I did not see a need for using two bags for some reason.

Peace

I've always worn one bag but I just moved to MI and am doing more cold weather games so I am going with 2 this year. Right side for good balls and left side for wet balls that I can dry between innings, a towel, and gloves.

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.
