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.

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...

Ah, the old post office blue Elbecos.

I'm waxing nostalgic now.

With the prominent ring-around-the-collar.

But the two-pocket ones were great for those who were too cheap to have their left pocket left open when the patch was sewn on it.
